Product classification
HS code for Angledozer blade: 8431.42
Machinery parts, bulldozer or angledozer blades.
Classification of angledozer blade under HS 8431.42
The classification of an angledozer blade under HS code 8431.42 is governed by the rules of Chapter 84, which covers nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery, and mechanical appliances. Heading 8431 is specifically designed for parts that are suitable for use solely or principally with the machinery of headings 8425 to 8430. Since angledozers and bulldozers are classified under heading 8429, their blades are categorized as parts under 8431. Subheading 8431.42 is the specific provision for bulldozer or angledozer blades. This classification applies to the blade as a standalone component, whether it is being shipped for replacement purposes or as an attachment for a machine. It is important to note that the blade must be presented separately from the tractor or the primary propelling unit to be classified here. The design of an angledozer blade allows it to be angled relative to the direction of travel, but for HS purposes, it shares the same code as standard bulldozer blades.

Codes often confused with 8431.42
Common mistake. The most common misclassification is 8429.11 or 8429.19, which are the codes for the complete bulldozer or angledozer machines. Another error is using 8431.49, which is a residual category for other parts of earthmoving machinery; however, because blades have a specific subheading (8431.42), the specific code must take precedence.

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).
