HS Code 8547.10 – Insulating fittings; of ceramics, for electrical machines, of insulating material only (except minor assembly parts), excluding those of heading no. 8546
HS code 8547.10 is the 6-digit subheading for insulating fittings, of ceramics, for electrical machines, of insulating material only (except minor assembly parts), excluding those of heading no. 8546. It is used for ceramic stand-off insulators, ceramic bushing insulators, ceramic pin insulators, ceramic post insulators and ceramic transformer bushings.
What HS 8547.10 covers
This code encompasses ceramic insulating fittings crucial for electrical machinery, ensuring safety and operational integrity by preventing unwanted current flow. These components are vital in power generation, transmission, and distribution systems, as well as in various industrial electrical applications. Importers typically include manufacturers of transformers, switchgear, high-voltage equipment, and electrical utilities, seeking durable and high-performance insulation. Exporters are often countries with strong ceramics manufacturing capabilities and advanced electrical engineering sectors. Key considerations in trade involve material specifications, voltage ratings, thermal resistance, and compliance with international electrical safety standards (e.g., IEC, ANSI). The market is driven by infrastructure development, grid modernization, and industrial expansion, particularly in emerging economies. The robustness and dielectric strength of ceramic insulators make them indispensable for reliable electrical infrastructure worldwide, supporting everything from power grids to industrial motors.

Codes often confused with 8547.10
Common mistake. This code can be confused with 8546 (electrical insulators of any material) if the "fittings" aspect is overlooked, or with 6909 (ceramic wares for technical uses) if their specific electrical insulating function isn't emphasized.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 854710, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 854710 in UN Comtrade data was China, with 31% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was China, with 15% 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 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).
