Product classification
HS code for Feed mixer: 8436.10
Machinery, for preparing animal feeding stuffs.
Classification of feed mixer under HS 8436.10
Feed mixers are classified under HS code 843610 because they are specialized machines designed for the preparation of animal feeding stuffs. This classification falls within Chapter 84, which covers nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery, and mechanical appliances. Specifically, heading 8436 covers "other agricultural, horticultural, forestry, poultry-keeping or bee-keeping machinery." The logic for this classification is based on the end-use of the machine within the agricultural sector. Whether the mixer is a stationary unit or a mobile trailer-mounted version, if its primary function is to blend various ingredients (such as grain, hay, and supplements) into a consistent ration for livestock, it belongs under 843610. This code excludes general-purpose industrial mixers used in food processing for human consumption, focusing strictly on the agricultural application of preparing fodder or animal nutrients.

Codes often confused with 8436.10
Common mistake. Feed mixers are frequently misclassified under 847982, which is the general code for mixing, kneading, or crushing machinery. However, because 843610 is more specific to the agricultural industry, it takes precedence according to GRI 3(a). Another common error is using 8433, which covers harvesting or threshing machinery; while feed mixers are used on farms, they do not perform harvesting functions. Additionally, mixers for human food are classified under 8438, not 8436.

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).
