Product classification
HS code for Air impact wrench: 8467.11
Tools, for working in the hand, pneumatic, rotary type (including combined rotary-percussion).
Classification of air impact wrench under HS 8467.11
Air impact wrenches are classified under HS code 8467.11. This code is part of Chapter 84 and falls under heading 8467, which covers tools for working in the hand, pneumatic, hydraulic, or with self-contained electric or non-electric motor. Subheading 8467.11 specifically identifies pneumatic tools that are of the rotary type, including those with combined rotary-percussion mechanisms. An air impact wrench fits this description perfectly as it is a hand-held tool powered by compressed air that uses a rotary mechanism to deliver high torque output through an internal hammering action. The classification is determined by the tool's portability (designed to be held in the hand during operation), its power source (pneumatic/compressed air), and its motion (rotary). This distinguishes it from stationary power tools or tools powered by electricity.

Codes often confused with 8467.11
Common mistake. The most common misclassification is HS code 8467.21, which covers electric drills of all kinds. While the function (rotating a bit or socket) is similar, the power source is the primary determinant; electric tools belong in 8467.21-29, while pneumatic tools belong in 8467.11-19. Additionally, if the tool is not rotary (like a pneumatic chipping hammer), it would be classified under 8467.19 rather than 8467.11.
Top exporters and importers of HS 846711 (the code used for air impact wrench), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 846711 (the code used for air impact wrench) in UN Comtrade data was China, with 20% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 16% of world imports. Taiwan did not report 2025 data, and its estimate from partner records misses its trade with other countries that did not report: in 2024 that was 6.2% of its exports here ($13M, CEPII BACI), so it may rank higher.

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).
