HS Code 8607.19 – Railway or tramway locomotives or rolling stock; parts, axles and wheels, and parts thereof
HS code 8607.19 is the 6-digit subheading for railway or tramway locomotives or rolling stock, parts, axles and wheels, and parts thereof. It is used for railway axles, tramway axles, solid railway wheels, spoked railway wheels and wheelsets (axle with mounted wheels).
What HS 8607.19 covers
This HS code covers individual axles, wheels, and their parts, which are fundamental components of railway and tramway locomotives and rolling stock. These elements form the direct interface between the rail vehicle and the track, bearing the entire weight of the train and its cargo, and are critical for safe and efficient movement. The international trade in axles and wheels is constant, driven by both the manufacturing of new rolling stock and the continuous need for replacement parts due to wear and tear. Importers include rolling stock manufacturers, rail maintenance companies, and national railway authorities globally. Exporters are specialized metallurgical and engineering firms capable of producing high-strength, precision-machined components. Key considerations in this trade involve material composition (e.g., forged steel), manufacturing tolerances, heat treatment processes, and strict adherence to international standards for safety, durability, and interoperability across different rail gauges and operating conditions.

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).
