HS Code 8704.10 – Vehicles; dumpers, designed for off-highway use, for transport of goods
HS code 8704.10 is the 6-digit subheading for vehicles, dumpers, designed for off-highway use, for transport of goods. It is used for articulated dump trucks, rigid dump trucks, mining dumpers, quarry trucks and construction site dumpers.
What HS 8704.10 covers
This HS code specifically covers dumpers designed for off-highway use, intended for the transport of goods. These are heavy-duty, robust vehicles engineered to operate in challenging environments such as mines, quarries, and large construction sites, rather than on public roads. They are characterized by their massive carrying capacity, durable construction, and specialized features for navigating rough terrain. International trade in these dumpers is crucial for global infrastructure development, mining operations, and resource extraction industries. Major exporters are typically countries with advanced heavy machinery manufacturing capabilities, while key importers are often nations with significant mining sectors or large-scale construction projects underway, particularly in emerging economies.

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).
