HS Code 8479.82 – Machines; for mixing, kneading, crushing, grinding, screening, sifting, homogenising, emulsifying or stirring
HS code 8479.82 is the 6-digit subheading for machines, for mixing, kneading, crushing, grinding, screening, sifting, homogenising, emulsifying or stirring. It is used for industrial mixers, planetary kneaders, hammer mills, ball mills and vibratory screens.
What HS 8479.82 covers
This HS code encompasses a wide range of industrial machines designed for various material processing tasks, including mixing, kneading, crushing, grinding, screening, sifting, homogenizing, emulsifying, or stirring. These machines are indispensable across numerous industries, such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, construction materials, and cosmetics, where precise material transformation is required. Importers are typically manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and R&D laboratories seeking to optimize their production processes for consistency and efficiency. Exporters are specialized engineering firms and machinery manufacturers, often providing custom solutions tailored to specific industrial needs. The trade in these machines is driven by the need for efficiency, product consistency, scalability, and often stringent hygiene and safety standards, depending on the application.

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).
