Product classification
HS code for Truck bumper: 8708.10
Vehicles, bumpers and parts thereof, for the vehicles of heading no. 8701 to 8705.
Classification of truck bumper under HS 8708.10
The classification of truck bumpers under HS code 8708.10 is dictated by their function as a dedicated part of a motor vehicle. Chapter 87 covers vehicles other than railway or tramway rolling-stock, and their parts and accessories. Heading 8708 is specifically designated for parts and accessories of the motor vehicles falling under headings 8701 to 8705, which includes tractors, passenger vehicles, and heavy-duty trucks. Subheading 8708.10 is the specific provision for bumpers and parts thereof. To qualify for this code, the bumper must be identifiable as being suitable for use solely or principally with the vehicles of the aforementioned headings. This includes both the outer shell of the bumper and the internal reinforcement bars or energy-absorbing components that constitute the bumper assembly. The material—whether steel, aluminum, or high-impact plastic—does not change the classification as long as the item is a finished part of a vehicle's bodywork designed for impact protection.

Codes often confused with 8708.10
Common mistake. Truck bumpers are often misclassified under 7326.90 if they are made of steel, but the specific vehicle part heading 8708.10 always takes precedence over general material headings. They are also sometimes confused with 8708.29, which covers other parts and accessories of bodies, but 8708.10 is more specific for bumpers. Plastic bumper components are occasionally wrongly filed under 3926.90 as general plastic articles.

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).
