Product classification
HS code for Cement mixer: 8474.31
Machines, concrete or mortar mixers.
Classification of cement mixer under HS 8474.31
The HS code 8474.31 is applied to cement mixers because they are mechanical appliances used for mixing mineral substances. Chapter 84 of the Harmonized System covers nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery, and mechanical appliances. Heading 8474 specifically includes machinery for sorting, screening, separating, washing, crushing, grinding, mixing, or kneading earth, stone, ores, or other mineral substances in solid, powder, or paste form. Within this heading, subheading 8474.31 is reserved for concrete or mortar mixers. These machines function by rotating a drum or using internal paddles to combine cement, aggregate, and water into a homogenous mixture. The classification remains consistent regardless of whether the mixer is powered by an electric motor or an internal combustion engine, provided it is a standalone machine and not integrated into a vehicle chassis. This classification follows GRI 1, as the machine's primary function is the mechanical mixing of minerals.

Codes often confused with 8474.31
Common mistake. A common misclassification occurs with cement mixer trucks, which must be classified under 8705.40 as special purpose motor vehicles. Additionally, mixers for other materials like plastics or chemicals are classified under 8479.82. Some importers also mistakenly use 8474.39, which is a residual category for other mixing machines that do not specifically handle concrete or mortar.

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).
