Product classification
HS code for Tile cutting machine: 8464.10
Machine-tools, sawing machines, for working stone, ceramics, concrete, asbestos-cement or like mineral materials or for cold working glass.
Classification of tile cutting machine under HS 8464.10
HS code 8464.10 is applied to machine-tools specifically designed for the sawing of mineral materials, including ceramics, stone, concrete, and glass. In the context of the construction and flooring industry, this code primarily covers tile cutting machines that utilize a sawing mechanism. This typically involves a circular diamond blade or a similar abrasive cutting tool that rotates to slice through hard materials. The classification requires the machine to be a stationary or semi-stationary tool used for working on the materials mentioned. It is important to note that the "sawing" function is the defining characteristic; machines that use other methods like grinding or scoring are classified elsewhere. These machines are essential for precision work in masonry and tiling, allowing for clean edges and specific dimensions. The code covers both large industrial bridge saws and smaller portable wet saws used by contractors on-site. The power source (electric, hydraulic, or pneumatic) does not change the classification, provided the mechanical action is sawing.

Codes often confused with 8464.10
Common mistake. A frequent error is classifying tile cutters under HS code 8467, which is reserved for tools for working in the hand, pneumatic, hydraulic, or with a self-contained electric motor. If the tile cutter is designed to be used on a stand or table, it belongs in 8464.10. Another common mistake is confusing this with 8464.90, which is a residual category for other mineral-working machines. If the machine performs a sawing action, 8464.10 is the specific and correct code. Manual "score and snap" tile cutters are also often misclassified here, but they may fall under 8205 if they are simple hand tools without a motorized sawing mechanism.
Top exporters and importers of HS 846410 (the code used for tile cutting machine), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 846410 (the code used for tile cutting machine) in UN Comtrade data was China, with 35% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 18% of world imports.

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).
