Product classification
HS code for Blender: 8509.40
Electro-mechanical domestic appliances, food grinders and mixers, fruit or vegetable juice extractors, with self-contained electric motor.
Classification of blender under HS 8509.40
A domestic blender is classified under HS code 8509.40. This classification is found in Chapter 85, which covers electrical machinery and equipment. Heading 8509 is specifically for electro-mechanical domestic appliances with a self-contained electric motor, other than vacuum cleaners of heading 8508. Subheading 8509.40 covers food grinders and mixers, as well as fruit or vegetable juice extractors. A blender, which functions by mixing, grinding, or emulsifying food using an integrated motor, fits this description perfectly. The classification is determined by two main factors: the appliance must be for domestic use and it must have a built-in motor. This distinguishes it from larger industrial food processing machinery. The classification follows GRI 1 and the specific wording of the subheadings in the Harmonized System.

Codes often confused with 8509.40
Common mistake. Blenders are often misclassified under HS code 8438.80, which is for industrial machinery for the preparation of food or drink. The key distinction is the 'domestic' nature of 8509. If the blender is designed for commercial kitchens or factories, it belongs in Chapter 84. Another error is using 8509.80, which is a 'catch-all' for other domestic appliances; however, since 8509.40 specifically mentions mixers and grinders, it takes precedence over the general category.

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).
