Iron or steel, leaf-springs and leaves therefor.
Classification of truck springs under HS 7320.10
Truck springs, specifically leaf-springs, are classified under HS code 7320.10. This classification is governed by Section XV of the Harmonized System, which covers base metals and articles of base metal. Chapter 73 specifically addresses articles of iron or steel. Leaf-springs are defined as springs consisting of one or more leaves of varying lengths, usually in the form of an arc, used primarily for vehicle suspension. A critical rule in HS classification is the "parts of general use" definition found in Note 2 to Section XV. Because springs are explicitly listed as parts of general use, they are classified under their own heading (7320) rather than as parts of vehicles under Chapter 87. This applies regardless of whether the spring is specifically designed for a particular truck model. The classification depends entirely on the physical characteristics (leaf-spring) and the material (iron or steel).

Codes often confused with 7320.10
Common mistake. The most common misclassification is HS code 8708.80, which covers suspension systems and parts for motor vehicles. While a leaf spring is a part of a suspension system, the Section XV notes dictate that springs must be classified in 7320. Another error is using 7320.20, which is reserved for helical (coil) springs, which are structurally different from leaf springs.

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).
