Product classification
HS code for Rubber extruder: 8477.20
Machinery, extruders, for working rubber or plastics or for the manufacture of products from these materials.
Classification of rubber extruder under HS 8477.20
A rubber extruder is classified under HS code 8477.20. This classification is based on the machine's primary function within the manufacturing sector. Chapter 84 covers nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery, and mechanical appliances. Heading 8477 is specifically dedicated to machinery for working rubber or plastics or for the manufacture of products from these materials, not specified elsewhere in the chapter. Subheading 8477.20 identifies extruders, which are machines that force heated rubber through a shaped die to create continuous profiles, tubes, or sheets. The classification follows GRI 1, as the machine is explicitly described by the text of the heading and subheading. It includes the entire assembly: the hopper, the heated barrel, the internal screw, and the motor drive system.

Codes often confused with 8477.20
Common mistake. Rubber extruders are often confused with 8477.10, which is reserved for injection-molding machines. While both process rubber, the method of forming the product (continuous extrusion vs. mold injection) is the deciding factor. Another misclassification is 8479.89, a general code for machines with individual functions. However, because 8477 specifically mentions rubber-working machinery, it takes precedence over the general machinery heading. Additionally, the dies used with the extruder are often misclassified; they should be under 8480.71 or 8480.79 depending on the material.
Top exporters and importers of HS 847720 (the code used for rubber extruder), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 847720 (the code used for rubber extruder) in UN Comtrade data was China, with 31% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was China, with 22% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.
Figures cover everything classified under HS 847720, not only rubber extruder.

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).
