Classification Notes

Food processors (Magimix, KitchenAid, Cuisinart, Ninja, Breville Sous Chef, Robot Coupe domestic) with slicing discs, shredder blades, dough blades, and bowl-mounted motors are classified under 8509.40. Mini-choppers, onion choppers, garlic presses (electric), and small prep processors are also 8509.40. The multi-function nature (chop, slice, grate, mix, knead) does not split classification — the whole appliance is one electromechanical unit. Manual (non-electric) food choppers, rotary graters, and manual mandolines are 8210.00 (hand-operated household tools). Replacement discs and blades sold separately are 8509.90 (parts). Commercial food processors designed for continuous restaurant/catering use (Robot Coupe R-series) may be classified under 8438.80 (food industry machinery) rather than 8509.40. Spiralizers (vegetable noodle makers) are 8509.40 if electric or 8210.00 if manual. Immersion/stick blenders with chopper attachments are 8509.40. Baby food processors (BEABA Babycook, Nuby Garden Fresh) combining steaming and blending are typically 8516.60 (electrothermic) if steaming is primary, or 8509.40 if blending is primary.
