HS Code 8474.90 – Machines, for sorting, screening, separating, washing, crushing etc mineral substances, for agglomerating, shaping or moulding solid fuels, ceramic pastes etc, for forming foundry moulds of sand; parts
HS code 8474.90 is the 6-digit subheading for machines, for sorting, screening, separating, washing, crushing etc mineral substances, for agglomerating, shaping or moulding solid fuels, ceramic pastes etc, for forming foundry moulds of sand, parts. It is used for crusher wear plates (jaw plates, cone liners), screen meshes, mill liners, mixer paddles and conveyor belts (specific to these machines).
What HS 8474.90 covers
This HS code specifically covers parts for the wide array of machines classified under heading 8474, which includes equipment for sorting, screening, separating, washing, crushing, grinding, mixing, agglomerating, shaping, or moulding mineral substances, as well as machines for forming foundry moulds of sand. The international trade in these parts is vital for the continuous operation and maintenance of heavy industrial machinery across mining, quarrying, construction, and manufacturing sectors. Importers and exporters typically include original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), specialized spare parts suppliers, and large industrial maintenance service providers. Key considerations in this trade are the high wear rates of many components due to abrasive materials, the need for specialized and often custom-engineered parts, and the critical role these parts play in minimizing downtime and ensuring the efficiency of capital-intensive machinery.

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).
