What do CN8 85461000, 85462000, 85469010 and 85469090 cover?
Extra-EU imports reported by EU27_2020 under CN8 85461000, 85462000, 85469010 and 85469090, covering electrical insulators of glass, ceramics, plastics and other materials. The scope is limited to heading 8546 and excludes insulating fittings under heading 8547.
Scope limitation: The dataset does not represent the total EU electrical equipment market, EU production, EU consumption, installed stock or grid investment. It does not represent transmission or distribution equipment generally, or all products commercially described as electrical insulation equipment. The scope covers electrical insulators under heading 8546 and excludes insulating fittings under heading 8547. The CN8 classifications do not establish voltage class, final application, or exclusive grid, transmission, distribution or renewable-energy use. Statistical suppliers are partner countries or jurisdictions, not companies. Net mass is not equipment count, installed stock or installed capacity. Missing observations are not verified zero trade. Value/mass divergence is not a price index. Residuals are disclosed separately and never redistributed among identified suppliers.
Methodology & source
Eurostat Comext DS-045409; reporter EU27_2020; flow IMPORT; January-June 2025 versus January-June 2026. Scope covers CN8 85461000, 85462000, 85469010 and 85469090 under heading 8546 and excludes insulating fittings under heading 8547. Official totals use EXT_EU27_2020. Shares and Top 3/Top 5 use official extra-EU import value. Net mass = QUANTITY_IN_100KG × 100. Residuals equal official aggregate minus identified supplier totals and are never redistributed.
2026 figures currently cover January through June. Trade statistics may be revised by Eurostat after initial publication. No total-market size is inferred.
