What HS 8473.40 covers
This category covers parts and accessories for the diverse range of office machines falling under heading 8472, which includes items like photocopiers, typewriters, calculating machines, and cash registers. The international trade in these parts is crucial for the maintenance, repair, and longevity of office equipment globally. Importers and exporters typically include original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), specialized parts distributors, and large office supply companies.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. 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).
