HS Code 8708.29 – Vehicles; parts and accessories, of bodies, other than safety seat belts
HS code 8708.29 is the 6-digit subheading for vehicles, parts and accessories, of bodies, other than safety seat belts. It is used for car doors, fenders, hoods, trunks and bumpers.
What HS 8708.29 covers
This HS code encompasses a wide array of vehicle body parts and accessories, excluding safety seat belts, which fall under a different classification. It's a cornerstone of the automotive supply chain, catering to both original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) for new vehicle production and the vast aftermarket for repairs and customization. Importers typically include large automotive assembly plants, independent body shops, and parts distributors. Exporters are often specialized manufacturers producing components like fenders, doors, hoods, and bumpers, often leveraging advanced materials such as high-strength steel, aluminum, or composites. Key aspects of this trade involve precision manufacturing, adherence to vehicle-specific designs, and increasingly, lightweighting technologies to improve fuel efficiency. The global nature of vehicle production means these parts are frequently traded across borders, supporting complex international assembly operations and repair networks.

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).
