Selected parts under three CN8 codes
Extra-EU imports reported by EU27_2020 under CN8 85381000, 85389091 and 85389099, covering selected parts suitable for use solely or principally with electrical switching, protection, connection, control and distribution apparatus of headings 8535, 8536 and 8537. CN8 85389011 and 85389019 are excluded.
Scope limitation: Selected parts only. This dataset does not represent complete electrical control or distribution equipment, all products under heading 8538, or all parts for electrical equipment. It does not measure EU production, consumption, sales, installed equipment, installed capacity or total EU market size. CN8 does not identify final application or end-use shares. No specific shares can be inferred for power grids, renewable energy, electric vehicles, data centers, industrial automation, buildings, railways, semiconductor manufacturing or other end-use sectors. Suppliers are countries/statistical jurisdictions, not companies. Observed trade changes do not establish causal explanations, forecasts or investment conclusions. Net mass is not equipment count or installed capacity. Value per kilogram is not a market price or price index. Missing observations are not verified zero trade. Explicit zero mass must not be used as a divisor. Residuals remain separate and are never redistributed. Trade statistics may subsequently be revised.
Methodology & source
Eurostat Comext DS-045409; reporter EU27_2020; flow IMPORT. H1 means January through June 2025 versus January through June 2026. Official totals sum EXT_EU27_2020 monthly observations for CN8 85381000, 85389091 and 85389099. Supplier shares and Top 3/Top 5 concentration use official extra-EU value. Net mass = QUANTITY_IN_100KG multiplied by 100. Missing remains missing. QP and QW reconcile the unallocated residual exactly. Suppliers are countries/statistical jurisdictions. Trade statistics may be revised.
2026 figures currently cover January through June. Trade statistics may be revised by Eurostat after initial publication. No total-market size is inferred.
