Chapter 85 covers electric motors, electrical equipment and parts thereof; sound recording and reproducing equipment and parts and accessories thereof. This chapter includes generators, electric motors, transformers, batteries, household appliances, etc. Food grinders and mixers, as household electrical appliances, fall within the scope of this chapter. Heading 8509 covers household electrical appliances, such as floor polishers, food grinders, mixers, juice extractors, etc. These appliances usually have an electric motor and are used in households or similar places. The first 2 digits 85 indicate Chapter 85 (electric motors, electrical equipment). The 3rd-4th digits 09 indicate heading 8509 (household electrical appliances). The 5th-6th digits 40 indicate subheading 8509.40, namely food grinders and mixers; fruit or vegetable juice extractors. This subheading further distinguishes food grinders and mixers, and juice extractors. The goods are food grinders and mixers, which are household electrical appliances with an electric motor, used in household kitchens. Therefore, they are classified under 8509.40, rather than other subheadings such as 8509.80 (other appliances) or 8509.20 (floor polishers).

Misreporting a commercial food grinder as household, leading to classification errors. Ignoring power declaration, affecting customs judgment of the product. Incomplete brand and model filling, causing customs clearance delays.

The core criteria for classification are: whether it is a household electrical appliance, and whether it has grinding or mixing functions. If it is for commercial or industrial use, it should be classified under other headings. At the same time, it is necessary to distinguish whether it includes a juicing function; if it is only a juice extractor, it is still classified under 8509.40. 8509.20 Floor polishers: Used for floor polishing, not food processing. 8509.80 Other household electrical appliances: Includes household electrical appliances not elsewhere specified, such as electric toothbrushes, etc. 8438.80 Food processing machinery: Industrial food processing machinery, not household. 8210.00 Manual food grinders: Manually operated, without electric motor. Is it for household use? Does it have an electric motor? Is it used for food grinding or mixing? Does it include a juicing function? Is it manually operated?

What is the difference between HS code 850940 and 850980? 850940 specifically refers to food grinders and mixers; fruit or vegetable juice extractors. 850980 is other household electrical appliances, such as electric toothbrushes, electric shavers, etc. If a product has food grinding or mixing functions, it should be classified under 850940. Which code should a commercial food mixer be classified under? Commercial food mixers are usually classified under 8438.80 (food processing machinery), rather than 850940, because 850940 is limited to household electrical appliances. How to determine whether a food grinder is household or commercial? Judge based on power, capacity, usage scenarios, etc. Household ones usually have lower power, small capacity, and are designed for household kitchens; commercial ones have high power, large capacity, and are used in the catering industry. Are juice extractors classified under 850940? Yes, 850940 explicitly includes fruit or vegetable juice extractors. However, note that if it is a commercial juice extractor, it may be classified under 8438.80. Which code should a manual food grinder be classified under? Manual food grinders are usually classified under 8210.00 (manual grinders), because they have no electric motor and do not belong to Chapter 85. How should power be filled in during declaration? Fill in the rated power of the electric motor in watts (W). If there are multiple power levels, fill in the maximum power. Are brand and model mandatory for declaration? Yes, brand and model are important declaration elements. If there is no brand or model, fill in "None"; do not leave blank.
