HS Code 8419.11 – Heaters; instantaneous gas water heaters, for domestic or other purposes
HS code 8419.11 is the 6-digit subheading for heaters, instantaneous gas water heaters, for domestic or other purposes. It is used for tankless gas water heaters, on-demand gas water heaters, propane tankless heaters, natural gas tankless heaters and point-of-use gas water heaters.
What HS 8419.11 covers
This HS code covers instantaneous gas water heaters, commonly known as tankless water heaters, designed for both domestic and light commercial use. These units heat water on demand, eliminating the need for a storage tank and offering energy efficiency benefits. They are highly valued in international trade for their space-saving design, continuous hot water supply, and reduced energy consumption compared to traditional tank heaters. Exporters are typically manufacturers with expertise in gas appliance technology and safety, while importers include countries with high energy costs, limited space, or a preference for modern, efficient home appliances. Key trade considerations include energy efficiency ratings, gas type compatibility (natural gas vs. propane), flow rates, temperature control accuracy, and compliance with stringent safety and environmental regulations specific to gas appliances in different markets.

Codes often confused with 8419.11
Common mistake. This code is distinct from 841912 (solar water heaters) due to its gas-fired nature and from 841919 (other non-electric water heaters) because it specifically covers instantaneous gas models. It might also be confused with 841989 if the "water heater" aspect is overlooked for a general heating apparatus.

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).
