Mowers, lawn, parks or sports-grounds, powered, with the cutting device rotating in a horizontal plane.
Classification of zero-turn mower under HS 8433.11
Zero-turn mowers are classified under HS code 8433.11. This code is situated within Chapter 84, which covers mechanical appliances. Heading 8433 specifically addresses harvesting or threshing machinery, including grass or hay mowers. Subheading 8433.11 is dedicated to mowers for lawns, parks, or sports grounds that are powered and feature a cutting device rotating in a horizontal plane. The "zero-turn" capability is a steering characteristic, but for HS classification, the primary factors are the intended use (lawns/parks) and the mechanical nature of the cutting blade (horizontal rotation). This distinguishes them from reel mowers or agricultural mowers used for hay. The classification applies regardless of whether the mower is electric or gasoline-powered, provided it is designed for the specified grounds and uses a rotary blade system. This code is essential for the global trade of landscaping equipment.

Codes often confused with 8433.11
Common mistake. A common error is classifying these under HS code 8433.19, which is for mowers with a cutting device not rotating in a horizontal plane (such as cylinder or reel mowers). Another misclassification occurs with HS code 8701.91, which covers tractors; however, if the primary function is mowing and the mower is integral to the machine, 8433.11 is the correct code.

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).
