HS Code 8544.30 – Insulated electric conductors; ignition wiring sets and other wiring sets of a kind used in vehicles, aircraft or ships
HS code 8544.30 is the 6-digit subheading for insulated electric conductors, ignition wiring sets and other wiring sets of a kind used in vehicles, aircraft or ships. It is used for automotive wiring harnesses, ignition cable sets, marine engine wiring looms, aircraft electrical harnesses and battery cable assemblies for vehicles.
What HS 8544.30 covers
This HS code covers insulated ignition wiring sets and other wiring sets specifically designed for use in vehicles, aircraft, or ships. These pre-assembled harnesses are crucial for connecting various electrical components within these complex machines, ensuring reliable power distribution, signal transmission, and ignition functions. The trade in these specialized wiring sets is highly integrated with global automotive, aerospace, and marine manufacturing supply chains. Major vehicle and aircraft production hubs are key importers and exporters, relying on these components for efficient assembly. The durability, resistance to environmental factors, and precise fit of these sets are paramount for safety and performance in demanding transport applications.

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).
