Product classification
HS code for Cast iron radiator: 7322.11
Radiators and parts thereof, for central heating, (not electrically heated), of cast iron.
Classification of cast iron radiator under HS 7322.11
HS code 732211 is designated for radiators and their parts for central heating, which are not electrically heated and are made of cast iron. This classification is based on the functional use of the item as a heat exchanger within a central heating system and the specific material of construction. Cast iron radiators are valued for their high thermal mass and durability. The code excludes radiators that operate via electrical resistance, even if they are made of cast iron, as those fall under Chapter 85. The classification covers the radiator units themselves as well as identifiable parts such as individual sections that are bolted or joined together to form the complete unit. The classification is governed by GRI 1, which looks at the heading text for radiators of cast iron for central heating.

Codes often confused with 7322.11
Common mistake. The most common misclassification occurs with steel radiators, which fall under 732219. It is vital to verify the material composition before assigning the code. Another error involves electric radiators; if the unit contains an electric heating element, it must be classified under 851621 (storage heaters) or 851629 (other space heaters), regardless of the cast iron exterior. Furthermore, radiators for vehicle engines are classified under 870891, as they are parts of motor vehicles rather than central heating equipment.

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).
