Hand Push Mixer

A hand push mixer, also known as a rotary hand mixer or egg beater, is a manual kitchen utensil used for mixing ingredients. It consists of a handle connected to a rotating mechanism with wire beaters at the end.

Material:

• Beaters: Typically stainless steel, though coated or plastic options exist. Stainless steel is preferred for durability and hygiene.
• Handle: Commonly plastic, wood, or metal.
• Gears/Mechanism: Usually metal (steel or alloy) for robustness.

Purpose:

The primary purpose is to combine ingredients through mechanical agitation. This incorporates air, emulsifies liquids, and creates a homogenous mixture.

Function:

The user rotates a handle, which drives a series of gears that turn the wire beaters. The beaters, when immersed in ingredients, blend them together. The speed of mixing is directly proportional to the speed of handle rotation.

Usage Scenarios:

• Baking: Whipping cream, beating eggs for cakes, meringues, or soufflés.
• Cooking: Creating sauces, gravies, or emulsions.
• Small Batch Mixing: Ideal for recipes requiring smaller quantities where a stand mixer is unnecessary.
• Recipes requiring gentle incorporation: Allows for greater control than electric mixers, preventing overmixing.

Common Types:

• Traditional Rotary Mixer: Features a simple gear system and typically one or two speeds. Often has a larger, more robust build.
• Balloon Whisk Hand Mixer: Incorporates a balloon whisk attachment for efficient aeration.
• Flat Beater Hand Mixer: Utilizes flat beaters for thicker mixtures like cookie dough or mashed potatoes.
• Adjustable Speed Hand Mixer: Offers multiple speed settings for greater versatility.
• Ergonomic Handle Mixers: Designed with comfortable grips for extended use.

Hand push mixers fall under the category of hand-operated mechanical appliances used in food preparation. Here are the relevant HS codes based on the provided information:

• 8210.00.00.00: This HS code covers hand-operated mechanical appliances, weighing 10 kg or less, used in the preparation, conditioning or serving of food or drink, and base metal parts thereof. This is a direct match for a hand push mixer, as it specifically includes appliances for food preparation that are manually operated and under the weight limit.

  • 82: Base metals and articles thereof; nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances and their parts.
  • 10: Hand-operated mechanical appliances, weighing 10 kg or less, used in the preparation, conditioning or serving of food or drink, and base metal parts thereof.
  • 00: This is the final subheading, indicating the specific category of hand-operated appliances.

• 8479.82.00.40: This HS code covers machines and mechanical appliances having individual functions, not specified or included elsewhere, specifically mixing, kneading, or stirring machines. A hand push mixer performs the function of mixing, placing it within this category.

  • 84: Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances and their parts.
  • 79: Machines and mechanical appliances having individual functions, not specified or included elsewhere in this chapter; parts thereof.
  • 82: Other machines and mechanical appliances.
  • 00: Mixing, kneading, crushing, grinding, screening, sifting, homogenizing, emulsifying or stirring machines.
  • 40: Mixing, kneading or stirring machines.

• 3924.10.40.00: While less direct, if the hand push mixer is made of plastics, this HS code applies. It covers tableware, kitchenware, other household articles and hygienic or toilet articles, of plastics, specifically tableware and kitchenware.

  • 39: Plastics and articles thereof.
  • 24: Tableware, kitchenware, other household articles and hygienic or toilet articles, of plastics.
  • 10: Tableware and kitchenware.
  • 40: Other.

The total tax rate for 8210.00.00.00 is 58.7% (基础关税: 3.7%, 加征关税: 25.0%, 2025.4.2后加征关税: 30.0%). The total tax rate for 8479.82.00.40 is 55.0% (基础关税: 0.0%, 加征关税: 25.0%, 2025.4.2后加征关税: 30.0%). The total tax rate for 3924.10.40.00 is 33.4% (基础关税: 3.4%, 加征关税: 0.0%, 2025.4.2后加征关税: 30.0%).

It is important to determine the material composition of the hand push mixer to accurately classify it under the appropriate HS code. If the mixer is primarily made of plastic, 3924.10.40.00 would be the correct choice. Otherwise, 8210.00.00.00 or 8479.82.00.40 would be more appropriate, depending on whether it is specifically described as a food preparation appliance or a general mixing machine.
