HS Code 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
11 six-digit codes · Heading 33 of 86 in Chapter 84 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 8433 is the customs home of machines that cut, gather, thresh and bale crops, plus machines that grade eggs and fruit. Use this page to find the right subheading for a combine harvester, baler, mower or spare part.
Heading 8433 is finely cut: 11 six-digit codes, 843311 to 843390, all of them under “Harvesting 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”. At that depth it is the exact wording of the code, not of the heading, that settles a classification. The heading is number 33 of 86 in Chapter 84, Machinery and mechanical appliances, boilers, nuclear reactors; parts thereof, which runs to 538 six-digit codes in all.

What HS code 8433 covers
Think of this heading as the farm machines that bring a crop in and get it ready. It includes combine harvester-threshers, other threshing machinery, straw and fodder balers, and grass or hay mowers. It also takes in mowers for lawns, parks and sports grounds.
The last group is machines that clean, sort or grade eggs, fruit and other farm produce. Parts for harvesting machinery sit here too.
The Harmonized System is the shared list that customs offices use to name traded goods. Heading 8433 is part of Chapter 84 machinery, so it is one of the agricultural machinery headings that buyers, sellers and freight agents look up often.
How to choose the right 8433 subheading
Start with what the machine does. Then look at how it works. The groups below follow that order.
For mowers, the key question is how the blade turns. A powered lawn, park or sports-ground mower with the blade spinning flat belongs in 843311. Other lawn, park or sports-ground mowers go to 843319. Mowers that fit neither, such as cutter bars mounted on a tractor, go to 843320.
- Harvesters and threshers: 843351 for combine harvester-threshers, 843352 for other threshing machinery, 843353 for root or tuber harvesters, and 843359 for other harvesting machinery.
What is not classified under 8433
The wording of this heading says it leaves out machinery of heading 8437. That heading is for machines that clean, sort or grade seed, grain and dried leguminous vegetables. It also covers milling machinery for cereals. So a grain cleaner goes to 8437, while an egg or fruit grader stays in 8433.
Check the neighbours too. Machines that prepare or work the soil, and rollers for lawns or sports grounds, are in 8432. Presses for wine, cider and fruit juice are in 8435.
If you are unsure, describe the machine in plain words and try the HS code classifier before you file.
