Wind
Wind turbines are devices designed to convert wind energy into electricity using aerodynamic blades that capture the wind's kinetic energy. They consist of a rotor with blades, a nacelle containing a generator, and a tower that supports the structure, often assembled into wind farms. These turbines can vary in size and power output, from small units for individual use to large-scale installations generating multiple megawatts. They can be both onshore or offshore.

The United Nations Comtrade database provides detailed trade statistics by product and trading partner. Imported and exported products are classified under the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (HS system), used uniformly by most customs authorities around the world. Based on the latest update of the HS system and data available in UN Comtrade, you can find below the relevant commodities related to this technology, including their HS codes and full descriptions.
We have classified these technology-related commodities into three groups: Midstream (chemical and material inputs of technology components), Downstream (fully assembled components or products), and Waste/Recycling (including recycled or waste products and components). Commodities are further arranged according to the relevant technology components.
