Sewing machines, furniture, bases and covers for sewing machines and parts thereof, and other parts of sewing machines.
Classification of sewing machine cover under HS 8452.90
A sewing machine cover is classified under HS code 8452.90. This code is situated within heading 8452, which covers sewing machines (other than book-sewing machines), as well as furniture, bases, and covers specially designed for sewing machines. The classification follows the principle that parts and accessories specifically designed for use solely or principally with a particular machine are classified with that machine. Subheading 8452.90 is a broad category that includes not only the internal parts of the sewing machine but also the external protective elements like covers and the furniture (such as tables or cabinets) upon which the machine is mounted. Whether the cover is a hard shell made of plastic or wood, or a specific protective housing, it is classified here because of its dedicated design for a sewing machine. This ensures that the machine and its necessary protective or structural accessories are grouped together for customs purposes.

Codes often confused with 8452.90
Common mistake. Sewing machine covers are frequently misclassified under 6307.90 if they are made of textile material. However, if the cover is specifically shaped and designed for a sewing machine, 8452.90 is the more specific and correct code. Another common error is using 3926.90 for plastic covers or 4421.99 for wooden covers. General material-based codes should be avoided when a specific "parts and accessories" code like 8452.90 exists.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).
