HS Code 8467.19 – Tools; for working in the hand, pneumatic, other than rotary type
HS code 8467.19 is the 6-digit subheading for tools, for working in the hand, pneumatic, other than rotary type. It is used for pneumatic nail guns, air staplers, pneumatic chipping hammers, air chisels and pneumatic riveters.
What HS 8467.19 covers
This HS code covers hand-held pneumatic tools that operate with a motion other than rotary. These tools, powered by compressed air, are indispensable across a wide array of industries, including construction, automotive, shipbuilding, and general fabrication. Examples include powerful air hammers, chisels, nail guns, and staplers, which are favored for their high power, durability, and suitability for continuous use in demanding environments. They are often preferred over electric alternatives in wet or potentially explosive atmospheres due to their inherent safety. The trade in these goods is fueled by industrial demand for efficient and robust solutions for fastening, cutting, and surface preparation tasks. Importers and exporters are typically countries with strong manufacturing and construction sectors, seeking reliable tools for heavy-duty applications where precision and consistent performance are paramount.

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. UN Comtrade records Taiwan as "Other Asia, not elsewhere specified". Saudi Arabia's exports under that code are left out: they are far too large to be trade with Taiwan, so mostly undisclosed partners. 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).
