HS Code 8433.20 – Mowers; n.e.c. in item no. 8433.1 (including cutter bars for tractor mounting)
HS code 8433.20 is the 6-digit subheading for mowers, n.e.c. in item no. 8433.1 (including cutter bars for tractor mounting). It is used for disc mowers, drum mowers, flail mowers, sickle bar mowers and cutter bars for tractors.
What HS 8433.20 covers
This HS code covers mowers not specifically designed for lawns, parks, or sports grounds, primarily including agricultural mowers like cutter bars for tractor mounting. This category is vital for fodder production, pasture maintenance, and general field clearing in agriculture. Importers are typically farmers, agricultural cooperatives, and machinery distributors in regions with significant livestock or crop production, seeking efficient ways to manage their fields. Exporters are often countries with advanced agricultural machinery manufacturing capabilities, producing robust and high-capacity equipment. Key aspects include cutting width, power requirements, compatibility with various tractor models, and durability for demanding field conditions. The trade is driven by the continuous need for efficient harvesting of forage crops, maintaining pastures, and preparing fields for subsequent agricultural processes, contributing significantly to livestock feed supply chains.

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).
