Codes often confused with 8465.99
Common mistake. This is a catch-all, so it's often a default for machines not fitting 846591 (sawing), 846592 (planing/milling), 846593 (grinding/sanding), or 846596 (splitting/slicing), making precise classification critical.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 846599, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 846599 in UN Comtrade data was China, with 43% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 5.8% of world imports. Vietnam did not report 2025 data, and its estimate from partner records misses its trade with other countries that did not report: in 2024 that was 2.8% of its imports here ($2.4M, CEPII BACI), so it may rank higher.

World total: $1.6B Reported figures on UN Comtrade ↗
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).
