Product classification
HS code for Hydraulic hand tool: 8467.89
Tools, for working in the hand, (other than chain saws), hydraulic or with self-contained non-electric motor, (not pneumatic).
Classification of hydraulic hand tool under HS 8467.89
HS code 8467.89 is designated for hydraulic tools for working in the hand. The primary criteria for classification under heading 8467 are that the tool must be designed to be held in the hand during use and must possess a self-contained power source or be driven by an external power source, such as a hydraulic pump. Subheading 8467.89 is a residual category for hydraulic tools that are not specifically mentioned elsewhere, such as chain saws. These tools are characterized by their portability and manual operation, distinguishing them from stationary machine tools classified in headings 8456 to 8465. The hydraulic nature of these tools allows for high force output in a compact, handheld form factor, which is common in industrial maintenance, construction, and emergency rescue operations. To qualify, the tool must be capable of being supported by the operator's hands during the entire operation, although it may be used with auxiliary supports like a tripod.

Codes often confused with 8467.89
Common mistake. Hydraulic hand tools are often confused with HS code 8205, which covers manual hand tools without a motor. However, because hydraulic tools utilize fluid power, they must be in 8467. Another common misclassification is 8467.21 or 8467.29, which are reserved for tools with a self-contained electric motor. If the tool is hydraulic, it must stay in the 8467.8x series. Additionally, larger hydraulic equipment that is not handheld, such as a bench-top hydraulic press, is classified under 8462 rather than 8467.

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).
