HS Code 8465.95 – Machine-tools; for working wood, cork, bone, hard rubber, hard plastics or similar hard materials; drilling or morticing machines
HS code 8465.95 is the 6-digit subheading for machine-tools, for working wood, cork, bone, hard rubber, hard plastics or similar hard materials, drilling or morticing machines. It is used for multi-spindle drilling machines, boring machines (wood), morticers, dowel drilling machines and hinge boring machines.
What HS 8465.95 covers
This HS code encompasses machine-tools specifically designed for drilling or morticing operations on wood, cork, bone, hard rubber, hard plastics, and similar hard materials. These machines are fundamental for creating holes, recesses, and joints, which are critical steps in the assembly of furniture, cabinetry, doors, windows, and various other products. From simple bench drills to sophisticated multi-spindle drilling centers and morticers, they are indispensable in woodworking and plastics fabrication workshops globally. International trade in these machines is driven by the continuous demand for efficient and precise hole-making and joint preparation. Importers include countries with robust construction, furniture, and manufacturing industries, such as the USA, Germany, and China, seeking to enhance their production efficiency. Leading exporters are typically nations with strong traditions in industrial machinery manufacturing, including Germany, Italy, and Taiwan, known for their durable and accurate drilling and morticing equipment. The market emphasizes precision, speed, and versatility in handling different material thicknesses and hole patterns.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
