Product classification
HS code for Rotary lawn mower: 8433.11
Mowers, lawn, parks or sports-grounds, powered, with the cutting device rotating in a horizontal plane.
Classification of rotary lawn mower under HS 8433.11
A rotary lawn mower is classified under HS code 8433.11 because it is a powered machine designed for mowing lawns, parks, or sports grounds where the cutting device rotates in a horizontal plane. The classification system for mowers under heading 8433 distinguishes between those used for hay or agriculture and those used for lawns. Within the lawn mower category, the primary distinction is the orientation of the cutting blade. Rotary mowers use a blade that spins rapidly around a vertical axis, creating a horizontal cutting path. This code applies regardless of whether the mower is a walk-behind model, a riding mower, or an automated robotic mower, provided the cutting mechanism is rotary and it is powered by an electric motor or an internal combustion engine. The 'powered' requirement is essential, as non-powered mowers are classified elsewhere.

Codes often confused with 8433.11
Common mistake. The most common misclassification occurs with HS code 8433.19, which covers 'other' lawn mowers, specifically cylinder or reel mowers where the blades rotate in a vertical plane. Another frequent error is using 8433.20, which is intended for mowers designed for agricultural use (such as cutter bars for tractors) rather than for lawns or sports grounds. The distinction lies in the intended surface and the orientation of the cutting device.

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).
