HS Code 8475.10 – Machines; for assembling electric or electronic lamps, tubes, valves or flashbulbs, in glass envelopes
HS code 8475.10 is the 6-digit subheading for machines, for assembling electric or electronic lamps, tubes, valves or flashbulbs, in glass envelopes. It is used for automatic lamp assembly machines, vacuum tube manufacturing lines, flashbulb sealing equipment, LED encapsulation machines (glass) and fluorescent tube production lines.
What HS 8475.10 covers
This highly specialized HS code covers machinery essential for the precise assembly of electric or electronic lamps, tubes, valves, and flashbulbs that are encased in glass. These machines are critical for industries manufacturing lighting products, display technologies, and specialized electronic components, where vacuum sealing, gas filling, and delicate component placement within glass envelopes are paramount. International trade in these machines is driven by the global demand for automated, high-precision manufacturing processes in electronics and lighting. Major importers are typically large-scale manufacturers in countries with significant electronics assembly operations, seeking to enhance efficiency and product quality. Exporters are often nations with advanced industrial machinery sectors, capable of producing such intricate equipment. Key considerations in trade include the machine's precision, throughput, and ability to handle various glass and component types.

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).
