Heading 8433Harvesting and threshing machinery, straw and fodder balers, grass or hay mowers; machines for cleaning, sorting or grading eggs, fruit or other agricultural produce, other than machinery of heading no 8437

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 843351 when importing or exporting combine harvester-threshers, which are essential for efficient grain harvesting. For example, a shipment of a new combine harvester designed for wheat can be classified under this code.

This code specifically covers machines that combine the functions of harvesting and threshing in one operation. In contrast, HS-6 843352 applies to separate threshing machines, which are used after the harvesting process.

When classifying equipment, ensure it meets the criteria of being a combine harvester-thresher. This includes machines that may have attachments for different crops, such as corn or soybeans, but primarily serve the dual purpose of harvesting and threshing.

If you are dealing with a machine that primarily mows grass or hay, you would look at HS-6 8433XX instead, which focuses on mowers rather than combine harvester-threshers.
