HS Code 8474.10 – Machines; for sorting, screening, separating or washing earth, stone, ores or other mineral substances
HS code 8474.10 is the 6-digit subheading for machines, for sorting, screening, separating or washing earth, stone, ores or other mineral substances. It is used for vibrating screens, trommel screens, hydrocyclones, jig separators and log washers.
What HS 8474.10 covers
This HS code covers heavy industrial machinery designed for the crucial initial stages of mineral processing: sorting, screening, separating, or washing earth, stone, ores, or other mineral substances. These machines are fundamental to the mining, quarrying, and aggregate industries worldwide. Major importers and exporters include large mining corporations, construction material producers, and specialized heavy equipment manufacturers and distributors. Key aspects of this trade involve the significant capital investment required for such machinery, the need for robust and durable designs to withstand harsh operating environments, and the global demand driven by infrastructure development and resource extraction. The efficiency of these machines directly impacts the quality and cost-effectiveness of raw materials.

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).
