Product classification
HS code for Table saw: 8465.91
Machine-tools, for working wood, cork, bone, hard rubber, hard plastics or similar hard materials, sawing machines.
Classification of table saw under HS 8465.91
The classification of a table saw under HS code 8465.91 is determined by its primary function as a stationary machine tool designed for working wood, cork, bone, hard rubber, hard plastics, or similar hard materials. Heading 8465 specifically covers machine tools for these materials that do not fall under the metalworking categories of headings 8456 to 8461. The subheading 8465.91 is reserved for sawing machines. To qualify for this code, the machine must be designed to be placed on the floor, a bench, or a wall, distinguishing it from hand-held tools. The classification remains consistent regardless of whether the saw is used for professional industrial purposes or hobbyist woodworking, provided the mechanical nature of the tool involves a circular blade or similar cutting mechanism integrated into a table structure. This code is part of Chapter 84, which encompasses nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery, and mechanical appliances. The specific inclusion under 8465.91 is driven by General Interpretative Rule 1, which dictates that classification is determined by the terms of the headings and any relative section or chapter notes.

Codes often confused with 8465.91
Common mistake. Table saws are frequently misclassified under HS code 8467.22. Code 8467 is reserved for tools for working in the hand, pneumatic, hydraulic, or with a self-contained electric or non-electric motor. If a saw is designed to be held in the hand during operation, such as a portable circular saw, it must be classified under 8467. Another common error is using 8461.50, which is intended for machine-tools for sawing or cutting-off metals. If the saw is specifically engineered for metalworking rather than woodworking, 8461 is the correct heading.

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. UN Comtrade records Taiwan as "Other Asia, not elsewhere specified". Saudi Arabia's exports under that code are left out: they are far too large to be trade with Taiwan, so mostly undisclosed partners. 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).
