Product classification
HS code for All-in-one printer: 8443.31
Printing, copying, and facsimile machines, machines which perform two or more of the functions of printing, copying or facsimile transmission, capable of connecting to an automatic data processing machine or to a network.
Classification of all-in-one printer under HS 8443.31
The classification of all-in-one printers under HS code 8443.31 is determined by their multi-functional nature and their ability to interface with data processing systems. According to the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI), specifically GRI 1 and 6, products are classified according to the terms of the headings and subheadings. Heading 8443 covers printing machinery, including those used for printing by means of plates, cylinders, and other printing components. Subheading 8443.31 specifically addresses machines that perform two or more functions, such as printing, copying, or facsimile transmission. A critical requirement for this specific code is that the device must be capable of connecting to an automatic data processing (ADP) machine or to a network. This connectivity distinguishes it from standalone photocopiers that lack digital interface capabilities. The classification reflects the technological convergence of office equipment where separate devices for scanning, printing, and copying have been integrated into a single unit. The Harmonized System recognizes this integration by providing a specific category for these multifunction devices, ensuring that they are not classified separately under their individual functions but as a composite machine. Furthermore, the explanatory notes for heading 8443 clarify that these machines must have the primary function of printing or copying to remain within this chapter, rather than being classified as computer peripherals under heading 8471.

Codes often confused with 8443.31
Common mistake. This code is frequently confused with 8443.32, which is reserved for machines that perform only a single function, such as a dedicated printer that cannot copy or scan. Another common error is attempting to classify these devices under heading 8471 as automatic data processing units. While they connect to computers, the World Customs Organization (WCO) moved printers and multifunction devices to heading 8443 to consolidate printing technology. Additionally, standalone scanners without printing capabilities are classified under 8471.60.
Top exporters and importers of HS 844331 (the code used for all-in-one printer), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 844331 (the code used for all-in-one printer) in UN Comtrade data was Vietnam, with about 17% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 18% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.
Figures cover everything classified under HS 844331, not only all-in-one printer.

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. 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).
