Codes often confused with 9508.23
Common mistake. Common misclassifications for bumper cars include classifying them as toys or as conventional motor vehicles. Toys, reduced-size models, and puzzles are generally classified under HS code 950300; however, bumper cars are commercial amusement rides, not toys. Similarly, motor cars and other motor vehicles principally designed for the transport of persons are classified under 8703.

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).
