Product classification
HS code for Concrete mixer: 8474.31
Machines, concrete or mortar mixers.
Classification of concrete mixer under HS 8474.31
HS code 8474.31 covers machinery specifically designed for mixing concrete or mortar. This classification is part of heading 8474, which encompasses machinery for sorting, screening, separating, washing, crushing, grinding, mixing, or kneading earth, stone, ores, or other mineral substances in solid form. Since concrete and mortar are essentially mixtures of mineral substances such as cement, sand, and gravel, the equipment used to combine them is logically placed within this heading. This code applies to the mechanical unit itself, which may be powered by an electric motor, a gasoline engine, or a diesel engine. The classification remains 8474.31 regardless of whether the mixer is a small, portable unit used on residential job sites or a large, stationary industrial mixer used in a concrete batching plant. It is the mechanical function of mixing the mineral components that dictates this classification. The machinery must be designed to handle the abrasive nature of concrete aggregates. This code does not include the vehicles that carry such mixers, but rather the mixing units themselves, whether they are stand-alone or intended to be mounted on a stationary platform or a simple trailer chassis without a motor.

Codes often confused with 8474.31
Common mistake. The most frequent misclassification occurs with 8705.40, which is the code for concrete-mixer trucks (lorries). If the mixer is permanently mounted on a motor vehicle chassis, it must be classified in Chapter 87. Another common error is using 8474.39, which is a residual code for other mixing machines not specifically for concrete or mortar. Additionally, hand tools for mixing are classified in Chapter 82, not as machinery in Chapter 84.

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).
