Last updated: August 2026 dataJaw crushers, cone crushers, impact mills, and grinding equipment for processing earth, stone, ore, and other solid mineral substances are classified here, serving the mining, cement, and aggregate industries. The United Kingdom and Germany are the leading US suppliers, consistent with those countries' long-standing specialization in heavy mineral-processing machinery. The US schedule separates portable crushing machines (8474200010) from stationary crushing (8474200050) and stationary grinding machines (8474200070), a three-way split that affects both classification and capital-equipment planning for project importers.

When a machine performs both crushing and screening functions in an integrated unit, classification follows the principal function. If crushing is the primary operation and screening is ancillary, 8474.20 typically applies. If the functions are genuinely equal, GRI 3(c) directs classification to the heading that occurs last in numerical order, which would be 8474.20. Importers should document the machine's design intent and primary commercial use to support the classification.
Heading 8474.20 is specific to machines that grind earth, stone, ore, or other mineral substances in solid form. Industrial mills for food grains (heading 8437), chemical substances (heading 8479), or metal (heading 8457/8461) fall under their respective headings. The key classification factor is the intended material being processed; technical specifications and the manufacturer's product documentation are the primary evidence CBP reviews.
