HS Code 8514.90 – Furnaces, ovens and heating equipment; parts of the industrial or laboratory equipment of heading no. 8514
HS code 8514.90 is the 6-digit subheading for furnaces, ovens and heating equipment, parts of the industrial or laboratory equipment of heading no. 8514. It is used for heating elements (e.g., MoSi2, SiC), refractory bricks, ceramic fiber insulation, thermocouples and vacuum pumps (for furnaces).
What HS 8514.90 covers
This HS code covers parts and accessories specifically designed for the industrial or laboratory furnaces, ovens, and other heating equipment classified under heading 8514. This includes a wide array of components essential for the operation, maintenance, and repair of these sophisticated machines, ensuring their longevity and optimal performance. Examples range from high-temperature heating elements, specialized insulation materials, refractory linings, and advanced control panels to precision sensors, robust pumps for vacuum furnaces, and intricate gas delivery systems for atmosphere-controlled furnaces. The trade in these parts is continuously driven by the global installed base of industrial heating equipment, with both original equipment manufacturers and aftermarket service providers being key importers and exporters. Countries with significant industrial infrastructure and advanced manufacturing capabilities are typically both major producers and consumers of these specialized parts, as they are crucial for maintaining efficient and reliable heating processes across various sectors.

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).
