HS Code 8419.19 – Heaters; instantaneous or storage water heaters, non-electric, (other than instantaneous gas or solar water heaters)
HS code 8419.19 is the 6-digit subheading for heaters, instantaneous or storage water heaters, non-electric, (other than instantaneous gas or solar water heaters). It is used for oil-fired storage water heaters, solid fuel water heaters, kerosene water heaters, biomass water heaters and indirect water heaters (non-electric).
What HS 8419.19 covers
This code covers a diverse range of non-electric water heating systems, excluding instantaneous gas and solar types, used across various sectors from residential to light commercial. These are crucial for providing hot water in areas where electricity is scarce or expensive, or where specific fuel sources like oil or solid fuels are preferred. International trade in these heaters is driven by construction booms, energy efficiency mandates, and infrastructure development, particularly in emerging markets. Importers often include construction companies, HVAC distributors, and hardware retailers, while exporters are typically manufacturers specializing in combustion technology. Key considerations for trade include fuel type compatibility, safety certifications, energy efficiency ratings, and regional climate demands. The market sees a steady demand for robust, long-lasting units that can handle varying water qualities and operational conditions.

Codes often confused with 8419.19
Common mistake. This code can be confused with 841912 (instantaneous gas water heaters) or 841911 (solar water heaters) due to the general category of water heaters, but the key differentiator is the non-electric, non-gas, non-solar energy source. It might also be mistaken for electric water heaters under 851610.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 841919, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 841919 in UN Comtrade data was Mexico, with 27% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 26% 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).
