HS Code 8474.39 – Machines; for mixing or kneading mineral substances, excluding concrete mixers and machines for mixing mineral substances with bitumen
HS code 8474.39 is the 6-digit subheading for machines, for mixing or kneading mineral substances, excluding concrete mixers and machines for mixing mineral substances with bitumen. It is used for ceramic paste mixers, refractory material mixers, dry powder blenders for minerals, sand mixers for foundries and glass batch mixers.
What HS 8474.39 covers
This residual HS code encompasses machines for mixing or kneading mineral substances, specifically excluding those for concrete (847431) and bitumen (847432). This broad category serves a diverse range of industries, including ceramics, refractories, glass, chemicals, and foundries, where various mineral powders, pastes, or aggregates need to be uniformly blended. Importers and exporters typically include specialized industrial equipment manufacturers, material processing plants, and engineering firms. Key aspects of this trade involve the need for highly specialized designs to handle different material viscosities, abrasiveness, and particle sizes, as well as the integration of advanced process control systems to ensure consistent product quality across various applications. This code highlights the wide array of mixing technologies beyond standard construction materials.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).
