Mowers, for lawns, parks or sports-grounds, other than with the cutting device rotating in a horizontal plane.
Classification of cylinder mower under HS 8433.19
Cylinder mowers, also known as reel mowers, are classified under HS code 8433.19. Heading 8433 covers harvesting or threshing machinery, including grass or hay mowers. Within this heading, there is a specific distinction for mowers designed for lawns, parks, or sports grounds. These are divided into two main categories: those with the cutting device rotating in a horizontal plane (8433.11) and others (8433.19). A cylinder mower utilizes a series of blades mounted on a cylindrical reel that rotates around a horizontal axis. Because the cutting action itself does not occur in a horizontal plane (unlike a rotary mower where the blade spins like a fan), it is excluded from 8433.11 and falls into the residual category 8433.19. This classification applies to both manual push-behind reel mowers and powered versions, provided they are intended for lawn or park maintenance. The mechanical design of the helical blades against a fixed bedknife is the defining technical characteristic for this classification.

Codes often confused with 8433.19
Common mistake. The most common error is classifying cylinder mowers under 8433.11. Code 8433.11 is strictly reserved for rotary mowers where the blade rotates in a horizontal plane. Another misclassification occurs with agricultural mowers used for hay or forage, which are classified under 8433.20. Cylinder mowers are specifically for \"lawns, parks or sports-grounds,\" so if the mower is designed for farm use or clearing brush, 8433.20 or 8433.59 might be more appropriate depending on the design.

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).
