HS Code 8417.10 – Furnaces and ovens; non-electric, for the roasting, melting or other heat-treatment of ores, pyrites or of metals, for industrial or laboratory use
HS code 8417.10 is the 6-digit subheading for furnaces and ovens, non-electric, for the roasting, melting or other heat-treatment of ores, pyrites or of metals, for industrial or laboratory use. It is used for blast furnaces, induction melting furnaces (non-electric), annealing ovens, rotary kilns for ore and reverberatory furnaces.
What HS 8417.10 covers
This HS code covers non-electric furnaces and ovens specifically designed for the roasting, melting, or other heat-treatment of ores, pyrites, or metals, intended for industrial or laboratory use. These heavy-duty machines are indispensable to the primary metals industry, foundries, metallurgical plants, and specialized manufacturing sectors globally. They facilitate processes like ore extraction, metal refining, annealing, and hardening. Importers are typically countries with robust mining and metal processing industries, while exporters are specialized engineering firms and manufacturers of heavy industrial metallurgical equipment. Key considerations in international trade include the furnace's capacity, precise temperature control capabilities, energy efficiency, and its ability to handle specific material properties and process requirements, often involving high temperatures and corrosive environments.

Codes often confused with 8417.10
Common mistake. Can be confused with 841780 (other non-electric industrial furnaces) if the specific metal/ore treatment function isn't highlighted, or even 8416 (furnace burners) if the furnace is seen primarily as a heating unit rather than a processing unit.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 841710, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 841710 in UN Comtrade data was China, with 35% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was India, with 23% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

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).
