Classification of harrow under HS 8432.29
Harrows, excluding disc harrows, are classified under HS code 8432.29. This code is situated within Chapter 84, which encompasses nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery, and mechanical appliances. Specifically, heading 8432 covers agricultural, horticultural, or forestry machinery for soil preparation or cultivation. Harrows are secondary tillage implements used to break up clods, provide a finer soil structure, and remove weeds. The subheading 8432.29 is a residual category for harrows that do not utilize a disc mechanism. The classification is based on the mechanical function of the machine and its intended use in soil management. It is important to note that this code applies to the machinery itself, whether it is self-propelled, towed, or mounted on a tractor.

Codes often confused with 8432.29
Common mistake. The most common misclassification is with HS code 8432.21, which is specifically reserved for disc harrows. Disc harrows use a series of rotating metal discs to cut through soil and are distinct from the tined or chain mechanisms of other harrows. Another error involves 8432.10, which is for plows; plows are primary tillage tools, whereas harrows are secondary. Additionally, hand-operated garden tools that perform similar functions are excluded from this heading and are instead classified under 8201.30 as hand tools.

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).
