HS Code 8402.19 – Boilers; vapour generating boilers, including hybrid boilers n.e.c. in heading no. 8402
HS code 8402.19 is the 6-digit subheading for boilers, vapour generating boilers, including hybrid boilers n.e.c. in heading no. 8402. It is used for firetube steam boilers, cast iron steam boilers, shell boilers, vertical steam boilers and electric steam boilers (if vapor generating).
What HS 8402.19 covers
This residual category encompasses other vapor-generating boilers not specifically classified as watertube boilers (840211, 840212) or super-heated water boilers (840220). This includes a variety of designs such as firetube boilers, cast iron boilers, and various hybrid configurations. These boilers are commonly found in commercial, institutional, and light industrial applications where specific steam or hot water requirements are met by designs other than standard watertube configurations. Their trade is diverse, driven by specific application needs, fuel availability, and regional preferences for certain boiler types. Importers and exporters span a wide range of industrial and commercial sectors, seeking cost-effective and reliable solutions for steam generation.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
