HS code for Wine press: 8435.10
Presses, crushers and similar machinery, used in the manufacture of wine, cider, fruit juices or similar beverages.
Classification of wine press under HS 8435.10
A wine press is classified under HS code 8435.10. This code is situated within Chapter 84, which deals with nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery, and mechanical appliances. Specifically, heading 8435 covers presses, crushers, and similar machinery used in the manufacture of wine, cider, fruit juices, or similar beverages. The classification is determined by the machine's primary function and the industry it serves. Subheading 8435.10 is reserved for the machinery itself, while parts of such machinery are classified under 8435.90. These machines are essential in the winemaking process for extracting juice from grapes (must) or for pressing the fermented skins to recover the remaining wine. The classification applies to various types of presses, including manual, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems, provided they are designed for the specified beverage production. It is important to note that this heading is specific to the beverage industry; general-purpose presses or those used in other food processing industries might be classified elsewhere. However, for the production of wine and similar juices, 8435.10 is the primary classification. The machinery must be intended for industrial or semi-industrial use; very small household appliances might occasionally fall under different headings depending on their mechanical nature.

Codes often confused with 8435.10
Common mistake. Wine presses are often confused with HS code 8422.30, which covers machinery for filling, closing, sealing, or labeling bottles. They are also sometimes misclassified under 8438.80, which is a general category for food preparation machinery not specified elsewhere. However, 8435.10 is the more specific code for wine production.

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).
