Classification of commercial dishwasher under HS 8422.19
Commercial dishwashers are classified under HS code 8422.19. Heading 8422 encompasses dishwashing machines as well as machinery for cleaning or drying bottles or other containers. The heading is split between household types (8422.11) and other types (8422.19). Commercial units are distinguished by their heavy-duty construction, rapid cycle times (often under three minutes), and high-temperature sanitization capabilities. These machines are designed for use in restaurants, hotels, and institutional kitchens. The classification follows GRI 1, as the product is specifically named in the nomenclature for non-household dishwashing machinery. The technical specifications, such as the presence of booster heaters and the ability to handle standardized commercial racks, reinforce this classification over domestic alternatives.

Codes often confused with 8422.19
Common mistake. Commercial dishwashers are often confused with HS code 8422.11, which is strictly for household dishwashing machines. The distinction is usually based on the physical dimensions, weight, and electrical requirements (such as three-phase power). Another common error is using 8422.20, which is intended for machinery used to clean or dry bottles or other containers in industrial bottling lines, rather than general dishware.

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).
