HS Code 8484.10 – Gaskets and similar joints; of metal sheeting combined with other material or two or more layers of metal
HS code 8484.10 is the 6-digit subheading for gaskets and similar joints, of metal sheeting combined with other material or two or more layers of metal. It is used for multi-layer steel (MLS) head gaskets, spiral wound gaskets, metal jacketed gaskets, corrugated metal gaskets and camprofile gaskets.
What HS 8484.10 covers
This category covers specialized gaskets and sealing joints constructed from multiple layers of metal or metal combined with other materials, designed to create a tight seal between two surfaces. These are crucial for preventing leaks of fluids or gases under high pressure, high temperature, or corrosive conditions, making them indispensable in demanding industrial applications. Industries such as automotive, petrochemical, aerospace, power generation, and heavy machinery rely heavily on these advanced sealing solutions. Major importers are typically countries with significant manufacturing and processing industries that require robust sealing for their equipment, including the USA, Germany, China, and Japan. Exporters often possess expertise in material science and precision manufacturing. Key considerations in trade include the specific material composition (e.g., stainless steel with graphite, copper with asbestos-free fillers), temperature and pressure ratings, chemical resistance, and compliance with industry standards like ASME or API, which are critical for safety and performance in industrial settings.

Codes often confused with 8484.10
Common mistake. These are distinct from non-metallic gaskets (e.g., 401693 for rubber, 681510 for asbestos-based) due to their specific metal-composite or multi-layer metal construction. The material composition is the key differentiator.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 848410, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 848410 in UN Comtrade data was Germany, with 15% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was China, with 13% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

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).
