Product classification
HS code for Hand juicers: 8210.00
Tools, hand-operated mechanical appliances, weighing 10kg or less, used in the preparation, conditioning or serving of food or drink.
Classification of hand juicers under HS 8210.00
Hand juicers are classified under HS code 8210.00 because they represent hand-operated mechanical appliances specifically designed for the preparation, conditioning, or serving of food or drink. To fall under this heading, the appliance must meet two critical criteria: it must have a mechanical component, such as a gearing system, a screw, or a lever mechanism, and it must weigh no more than 10 kilograms. This classification is found within Chapter 82, which generally covers tools and implements of base metal. The inclusion of mechanical parts is what separates these items from simpler kitchen tools found in heading 8205. For instance, a basic manual citrus squeezer that simply uses hand pressure without any mechanical advantage would be classified elsewhere, whereas a juicer with a crank handle or a geared press mechanism fits perfectly into 8210.00. The weight limit is also a defining factor; if a mechanical juicer exceeds 10kg, it is typically considered industrial equipment and would be classified under Chapter 84, specifically heading 8435. This distinction ensures that household or light commercial hand tools are separated from heavy industrial machinery.

Codes often confused with 8210.00
Common mistake. Hand juicers are frequently confused with electric juicers, which are classified under HS code 8509.40 as electromechanical domestic appliances. Another common error is using HS code 8435.10, which is reserved for industrial-scale juice extractors and presses. Additionally, simple non-mechanical squeezers (like a basic wooden reamer) should be classified under 8205.51 rather than 8210.00.

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).
