What decides the code
A hand mixer is an electromechanical domestic appliance with a self-contained electric motor, classified under heading 8509, specifically 8509.40.00.25 for other food mixers.
- The appliance has a self-contained electric motor, which places it in heading 8509 rather than the hand tool headings.
- Its function is mixing food in the home, which leads to the food mixers subheading 8509.40.00.25.
- A cordless model with a battery still carries its own motor, so it stays in heading 8509.
- A non-electric manual hand mixer has no motor and does not fall in heading 8509.
Common mistakes
- Classifying under 8508 is wrong because that heading covers vacuum cleaners, not food mixers.
- Classifying under 8210 is wrong because that heading covers non-electric hand-operated mechanical appliances.
- Classifying under 8467 is wrong because that heading covers hand tools with a self-contained motor for working materials, not household food preparation.
