What decides the code
A coffee grinder is classified by how it is powered. Manual grinders fall under heading 8210, and electric grinders with a self-contained motor fall under heading 8509.
- Power source decides the heading. A hand-cranked grinder goes to 8210.00.00.00 as a hand-operated mechanical appliance for preparing food or drink.
- A grinder with a self-contained electric motor goes to 8509.40.00.40 as an electromechanical domestic food grinder.
- Weight matters for the manual grinder. Heading 8210 covers hand-operated appliances weighing 10 kg or less.
Common mistakes
- Classifying a manual grinder under 8509.40.00.40 is wrong because that heading requires a self-contained electric motor.
- Classifying an electric grinder under 8210.00.00.00 is wrong because heading 8210 covers hand-operated appliances, not motor-driven ones.
- Classifying a manual grinder as a base metal article in Chapter 73 is wrong because heading 8210 specifically covers hand-operated food preparation appliances.
