Codes often confused with 8423.10
Common mistake. Bathroom scales are sometimes misclassified with other types of weighing machines within HS 8423. For instance, HS 842381 covers "Weighing machines; for continuous weighing of goods on conveyors," which are industrial-grade systems. HS 842382 is for "Weighing machines; constant weight scales and scales for discharging a predetermined weight of material into a bag or container," typically used in manufacturing or packaging. While HS 842389 is a residual category for "Other weighing machines," it is less specific than 842310. The critical distinction for correct classification is the intended use and design for personal or household applications.

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).
