Product classification
HS code for Asphalt mixer: 8474.32
Machines, for mixing mineral substances with bitumen.
Classification of asphalt mixer under HS 8474.32
An asphalt mixer is classified under HS code 847432 because this subheading specifically covers machines designed for mixing mineral substances with bitumen. Chapter 84 of the Harmonized System is dedicated to nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery, and mechanical appliances. Within this chapter, heading 8474 addresses machinery for sorting, screening, separating, washing, crushing, grinding, mixing or kneading earth, stone, ores or other mineral substances. The precise function of an asphalt mixer—combining aggregates (mineral substances) with asphalt cement (bitumen) to produce asphalt concrete—aligns perfectly with the description for 847432, ensuring its accurate and specific classification.

Codes often confused with 8474.32
Common mistake. A common misclassification involves HS code 847431, which covers \"Concrete or mortar mixers.\" While both are mixing machines, the critical distinction is the specific substances being mixed. 847431 is for concrete/mortar components, whereas 847432 is exclusively for mineral substances with bitumen (asphalt). Another potential area of confusion is with broader categories like 847480 (Other machinery for sorting, screening, separating, washing, crushing, grinding, mixing or kneading earth, stone, ores or other mineral substances), but 847432 is more specific and takes precedence due to its precise description of the mixing function for asphalt production. Parts and accessories for asphalt mixers are generally classified under 847490, not the complete machine code.

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).
