Stand Mixer / Food Mixer — HS Code

Classification Notes

Stand mixers (KitchenAid-type), hand mixers, and spiral dough mixers are classified under 8509.40. The bowl capacity, wattage, and attachment system do not affect the heading. Planetary mixers (where the beater rotates on its own axis as it revolves around the bowl) are 8509.40. Commercial spiral mixers for bakery use (typically over 1,000W and designed for continuous operation) may be classified under 8438.10 (machinery for preparation of bread) rather than 8509.40 — consult the equipment's primary design purpose. Food processors with mixing/slicing/grating attachments are 8509.40. Bread makers with a kneading hook and baking element are 8516.60 (other electrothermic appliances) rather than 8509.40 because the primary function is baking, not mixing.
