HS-4 · Heading
8210 — Tools; hand-operated mechanical appliances, weighing 10kg or less, used in the preparation, conditioning or serving of food or drink
Chapter 82: Tools, implements, cutlery
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 8210 when importing hand-operated mechanical appliances that weigh 10 kg or less and are designed for food or drink preparation. For example, a manual coffee grinder or a hand-held citrus juicer fits this classification.
When deciding between subheadings, note that HS-6 821000 specifically covers all tools and appliances within the weight limit for food and drink preparation. If your product is a hand-operated tool like a whisk or a manual can opener, it will fall under this line.
If you are unsure about the classification, consider the specific use of the tool. For example, a hand-cranked pasta maker is included, while electric appliances would not qualify under this heading. Always check the weight and operational mechanism to ensure compliance.
