🥣 Hand Mixer / Egg Beater (搅蛋器)

🌐 HS Code Reference & Clearance Guide | 2026 Latest Tariff Analysis | Professional Clearance Strategy
📌 I. Product Definition & Classification: What Exactly is an "Egg Beater"?

"Egg Beater" (搅蛋器) in international trade refers to devices used for whipping, beating, or mixing ingredients in food preparation. It falls into two main categories based on operation mode:

1. Manual Mechanical Egg Beaters – Hand-cranked devices, weighing ≤10 kg, with no electrical components.
2. Electric/Electromechanical Egg Beaters – Powered by self-contained electric motors, including mixers, processors, and juicers.

⚠️ Critical Classification Point:
- If hand-operated, mechanical, and ≤10 kg → HS Code 8210.00.00.00
- If electric, motor-driven, with food processing functions → HS Code 8509.40.00.15 or 8509.40.00.25
- Do not confuse with stainless steel kitchenware (e.g., bowls, pots) → those fall under HS Code 7323.93.00.60 or 7323.99.90.30

📦 II. HS Code Classification Details (2026 Tariff Authority Match)

🔍 Key Reminder:
- Electric mixers must be classified under 8509.40.00.15 or 8509.40.00.25, not under 7323 (which is for non-electric kitchenware).
- Manual beaters (no motor) → 8210.00.00.00
- Stainless steel whisks without motor → 7323.93.00.60 or 7323.99.90.30
