HS Code 8607.11 – Railway or tramway locomotives or rolling stock; parts, driving bogies and bissel-bogies
HS code 8607.11 is the 6-digit subheading for railway or tramway locomotives or rolling stock, parts, driving bogies and bissel-bogies. It is used for locomotive driving bogies, electric multiple unit (EMU) driving bogies, diesel multiple unit (DMU) driving bogies, tram driving bogies and bissel bogies for locomotives.
What HS 8607.11 covers
This HS code specifically covers driving bogies and bissel-bogies, which are critical components for railway and tramway locomotives and rolling stock. Driving bogies house the motors and transmit power to the wheels, making them essential for propulsion, while bissel-bogies are specialized leading or trailing bogies designed to improve stability and guidance. The trade in these parts is fundamental to the maintenance, repair, and manufacturing of new rail vehicles globally. Importers are typically rail operators, maintenance companies, and rolling stock manufacturers in countries looking to upgrade or expand their fleets. Exporters are specialized engineering firms and large rail equipment manufacturers, often located in countries with advanced industrial capabilities. Key considerations include compatibility with specific locomotive models, adherence to stringent safety and performance standards, and the precision engineering required for reliable operation. The demand for these parts is directly tied to the health and growth of the global rail industry.

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).
