About HS Code 840220
This HS code specifically covers super-heated water boilers, which are designed to produce hot water at temperatures above 100°C, but without generating steam. These boilers are vital components in large-scale district heating systems, major commercial and institutional buildings, and specific industrial processes where high-temperature hot water is preferred over steam due to efficiency, safety, or system design considerations. The trade in these specialized boilers involves significant engineering expertise for high-pressure hot water systems, often integrated into broader energy infrastructure projects. Importers are typically municipalities, utility companies, and large industrial complexes, while exporters are specialized manufacturers with expertise in high-temperature hot water technology. The market is influenced by urban development, energy policy, and the expansion of district heating networks.
Products Under This Code
High-temperature hot water boilers, district heating boilers, industrial superheated water generators, thermal fluid heaters (if water-based and superheated), large commercial hot water boilers, pressurized hot water boilers
Real World Examples
Danstoker superheated water boilers, LOOS (Bosch Industriekessel) hot water boilers, Viessmann large hot water boilers, Babcock Wanson thermal fluid heaters (water-based)
Common Misclassification
Distinct from steam-generating boilers (84021x, 840219) because they produce superheated water, not vapor, and also from central heating boilers (8403) which typically operate at lower temperatures or for different applications.
Products Classified Under 8402.20
Industry
This code belongs to the Electronics & Electrical Equipment industry.
Trade Overview
European countries like Germany, Denmark, and Italy are major exporters due to extensive district heating networks, supplying systems to other nations developing similar infrastructure.
