HS Code for Juicer

Domestic electric juicers are classified under HS code 8509.40. This heading covers electro-mechanical domestic appliances with a self-contained electric motor. Specifically, subheading 8509.40 includes food grinders and mixers, as well as fruit or vegetable juice extractors. To fall under this code, the juicer must be designed for household use, meaning it is typically portable and intended for small-scale preparation. The classification is driven by the presence of an internal motor and the specific function of extracting juice. This includes centrifugal juicers, masticating (slow) juicers, and electric citrus presses. The weight limit for appliances in heading 8509 is generally 20 kg; if an appliance exceeds this weight or is clearly designed for industrial use, it would be classified elsewhere in Chapter 84.

Common Misclassification

Juicers are often confused with HS code 8435.10, which applies to industrial presses and crushers used in beverage manufacturing. The distinction lies in the "domestic" vs. "industrial" nature of the machine. Another common misclassification is HS code 8210.00, which covers hand-operated mechanical appliances weighing 10 kg or less. If a juicer does not have an electric motor and is operated by a hand crank or manual lever, it must be classified under 8210.00 rather than 8509.40.
