HS Code 8477.10 – Machinery; injection-moulding machines, for working rubber or plastics or for the manufacture of products from these materials
HS code 8477.10 is the 6-digit subheading for machinery, injection-moulding machines, for working rubber or plastics or for the manufacture of products from these materials. It is used for horizontal injection molding machines, vertical injection molding machines, all-electric injection molding machines, hydraulic injection molding machines and two-platen injection molding machines.
What HS 8477.10 covers
This HS code covers injection-molding machines, which are fundamental to the manufacturing of products from rubber or plastics. These machines operate by injecting molten material into a mold cavity, where it cools and solidifies into the desired shape. They are indispensable across a vast array of industries, producing everything from automotive components, consumer electronics casings, and medical devices to household goods and packaging. International trade in injection molding machines is robust, driven by global industrial demand for plastic and rubber parts. Importers are typically manufacturing companies across various sectors seeking to establish or expand their production capabilities. Exporters are often countries with advanced industrial machinery production, known for precision engineering and automation. Key trade considerations include machine tonnage, shot size, energy efficiency, and automation features.

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).
