Trailers and semi-trailers, of the caravan type, for housing or camping.
Classification of camper trailers under HS 8716.10
Camper trailers, also known as caravans or travel trailers, are classified under HS code 8716.10. This code is found within Chapter 87, which governs vehicles other than railway or tramway rolling-stock. Specifically, heading 8716 covers trailers and semi-trailers. Subheading 8716.10 is dedicated to trailers of the "caravan type," designed specifically for housing or camping. The classification is based on the vehicle's design for human habitation during travel or recreation. These units are non-motorized and must be towed by a motorized vehicle. To qualify for this code, the trailer must feature built-in amenities such as sleeping quarters, kitchenettes, or storage for camping equipment. The structural design is the primary determinant; even if the trailer is small or has collapsible walls (like a pop-up camper), its primary function as a mobile dwelling unit places it firmly within this category. This distinguishes it from trailers designed for the transport of goods or livestock.

Codes often confused with 8716.10
Common mistake. Camper trailers are often confused with motorized recreational vehicles (RVs), which are classified under 8703.23 or 8703.33 depending on engine size. The key difference is the lack of propulsion; if it has an engine, it is a motor vehicle, not a trailer. Another common error is using 8716.39, which is for general-purpose freight trailers. If the trailer is designed for camping rather than cargo, 8716.10 must be used.

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).
