Classification of powder mixer under HS 8474.39
A powder mixer is classified under HS code 8474.39 when it is intended for use with mineral substances. This code is located in Chapter 84 and falls under heading 8474, which covers machinery for sorting, screening, separating, washing, crushing, grinding, mixing, or kneading earth, stone, ores, or other mineral substances in solid (including powder or paste) form. Subheading 8474.39 is the specific category for "other" mixing or kneading machines not used for concrete or bitumen. The classification depends entirely on the material being processed. If the powder mixer is designed for minerals, ores, or clays, it must be classified here. The mechanical action of the mixer—whether it be a ribbon blender, a V-mixer, or a paddle mixer—is secondary to the nature of the substance it is designed to handle. This heading is part of the group of machines used in the extractive and construction industries, reflecting the heavy-duty nature of the equipment required to process abrasive mineral powders.

Codes often confused with 8474.39
Common mistake. The most common misclassification for a powder mixer is HS code 8479.82, which covers general-purpose mixing, kneading, crushing, or grinding machines. If the mixer is intended for chemicals, plastics, or food, 8479.82 is correct. However, if the mixer is specifically for minerals, 8474.39 takes precedence due to GRI 3(a), which states that the most specific description should be used. Another error is using 8438.10 for mixers intended for the food industry (like flour), which is incorrect for mineral applications.

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).
