What is the difference between HS-6 840211 and HS-6 840212?

HS-6 840211 is for watertube boilers producing over 45 tons of steam per hour, while HS-6 840212 is for those producing 45 tons or less.

Can I use HS-6 840219 for hybrid boilers?

Yes, HS-6 840219 includes hybrid vapour generating boilers that do not fit into the other specified categories.

What should I use for importing parts of steam boilers?

Use HS-6 840290 for parts specifically designed for steam or other vapour generating boilers.

Are there specific import regulations for super-heated water boilers?

Yes, ensure compliance with safety and performance standards as outlined by customs for HS-6 840220.

How do I determine the right HS code for my boiler?

Evaluate the steam production capacity and type of boiler to select the appropriate HS-6 subheading under HS-4 8402.

HS-4 · Heading

8402 — Boilers; steam or other vapour generating (other than central heating hot water boilers, capable also of producing low pressure steam), super heated water boilers

Chapter 84: Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 8402 when importing boilers designed for generating steam or other vapour, such as a watertube boiler capable of producing high-pressure steam for industrial use. This classification is crucial for ensuring compliance with customs regulations and proper tariff application.

When determining the correct subheading, consider the steam production capacity. For instance, if your watertube boiler produces over 45 tons of steam per hour, you should classify it under HS-6 840211. Conversely, if it produces 45 tons or less, use HS-6 840212.

If your product does not fit neatly into the watertube categories, you may need to look at HS-6 840219 for vapour generating boilers, which includes hybrid types. This subheading is useful for boilers that don't fall under the specified steam production limits.

For super-heated water boilers, select HS-6 840220. If you are importing parts for any of these boilers, you will need to use HS-6 840290, which covers components specifically designed for steam or vapour generating boilers.
