HS code for Fruit crusher: 8435.10
Presses, crushers and similar machinery, used in the manufacture of wine, cider, fruit juices or similar beverages.
Classification of fruit crusher under HS 8435.10
The classification of fruit crushers under HS code 8435.10 is dictated by their functional application in the beverage manufacturing industry. Heading 8435 specifically covers presses, crushers, and similar machinery used in the manufacture of wine, cider, fruit juices, or similar beverages. This classification applies to industrial or semi-industrial mechanical appliances designed to extract juice or pulp from fruit through crushing or pressing actions. The machinery must be primarily intended for liquid extraction or beverage preparation to fall under this code. It is distinct from general food processing machinery because of its specialized role in the beverage production chain. The technical characteristics of these machines, such as their ability to handle large volumes of raw fruit and their mechanical design for juice separation, align with the requirements of Chapter 84. This chapter focuses on nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery, and mechanical appliances. Subheading 8435.10 specifically targets the machinery itself, while 8435.90 covers parts. The classification remains valid regardless of whether the machine is operated manually, electrically, or hydraulically, provided its primary purpose is the crushing or pressing of fruit for beverage production.

Codes often confused with 8435.10
Common mistake. Fruit crushers are often confused with HS code 8438.80, which covers machinery for the industrial preparation of food or drink not elsewhere specified. However, because 8435 is more specific to juice and wine production, it takes precedence. Another common error is using 8509.40, which is reserved for domestic food grinders, mixers, and fruit or vegetable juice extractors. If the crusher is for household use and is electromechanical, 8509 is the correct heading.

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).
