HS Code 8475.90 – Machines; parts, of those for assembling electric or electronic lamps, tubes, valves or flash-bulbs, in glass envelopes and manufacturing or hot working glass or glassware
HS code 8475.90 is the 6-digit subheading for machines, parts, of those for assembling electric or electronic lamps, tubes, valves or flash-bulbs, in glass envelopes and manufacturing or hot working glass or glassware. It is used for glass furnace refractories, optical fiber drawing machine nozzles, lamp assembly machine grippers, glass mold inserts and annealing lehr rollers.
What HS 8475.90 covers
This HS code covers parts specifically designed for the machinery used in assembling electric or electronic lamps, tubes, valves, or flashbulbs in glass envelopes (847510), and for manufacturing or hot working glass or glassware (847521, 847529). These parts are crucial for the maintenance, repair, and upgrade of high-capital equipment, ensuring the longevity, efficiency, and precision of glass processing and lamp assembly lines. International trade in these components is essential for supporting the global installed base of such specialized machinery. Importers are typically the same manufacturers who operate the main machines, often requiring proprietary or highly specific components. Exporters are usually the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) or specialized parts suppliers. The trade volume is directly linked to the activity and expansion of the glass and electronics manufacturing sectors worldwide.

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).
