Product classification
HS code for Industrial mixer: 8474.39
Machines, for mixing or kneading mineral substances, excluding concrete mixers and machines for mixing mineral substances with bitumen.
Classification of industrial mixer under HS 8474.39
Industrial mixers are classified under HS code 8474.39 when they are specifically designed for mixing or kneading mineral substances. Heading 8474 covers machinery for sorting, screening, separating, washing, crushing, grinding, mixing, or kneading earth, stone, ores, or other mineral substances in solid form. The classification 8474.39 is a sub-category for mixers that are not concrete mixers (8474.31) or machines for mixing mineral substances with bitumen (8474.32). The primary criteria for this classification is the nature of the material being processed. If the mixer is intended for use with minerals like clay, sand, coal, or ceramic pastes, it falls under this heading. This classification is distinct from mixers used in the food, chemical, or pharmaceutical industries, which are classified based on their specific functions or as general-purpose machinery in other parts of Chapter 84. The mechanical design of the mixer, such as whether it uses paddles, screws, or rotating drums, is secondary to the material requirement for 8474.39.

Codes often confused with 8474.39
Common mistake. The most frequent misclassification occurs when industrial mixers for chemicals or food are placed in 8474.39. These should actually be classified under 8479.82 (general mixing/kneading) or 8438 (food preparation). Additionally, concrete mixers are often incorrectly placed here, but they have a dedicated code in 8474.31. Similarly, bitumen or asphalt mixers must be classified under 8474.32. Importers must verify the intended material input to avoid these errors.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).
