Product classification
HS code for Central heating radiator: 7322.19
Radiators and parts thereof, for central heating, (not electrically heated), of iron or steel other than cast iron.
Classification of central heating radiator under HS 7322.19
The classification of central heating radiators under HS code 7322.19 is determined by their material composition and functional application. This specific subheading covers radiators and their identifiable parts that are constructed from iron or steel, excluding those made of cast iron. These units are designed for central heating systems where heat is distributed via a fluid, usually water or steam, circulated from a central boiler. Crucially, this code excludes radiators that are electrically heated, as those fall under Chapter 85. The classification relies on the General Interpretative Rules (GIR) 1 and 6, focusing on the description of non-electric heating equipment. The manufacturing process typically involves welding steel sheets or tubes into a configuration that maximizes surface area for heat radiation. Because these units do not contain their own heat source but rather rely on an external boiler, they are strictly categorized within Chapter 73. Parts such as sections, shells, and internal conduits are also included here, provided they are clearly identifiable as components of these radiators. The distinction between steel and cast iron is critical for customs purposes, as different duty rates or trade regulations may apply based on the specific metal used. Furthermore, these radiators must be for central heating; portable heaters or those used in vehicles have different classifications. The steel used is typically cold-rolled to ensure a smooth finish for painting or coating, which is a common feature of products under 7322.19.

Codes often confused with 7322.19
Common mistake. HS code 7322.11 is frequently confused with 7322.19; however, 7322.11 is strictly for radiators made of cast iron. Another common error is using 8516.21 or 8516.29, which are reserved for electric space heating apparatus. If a radiator has an integrated electric heating element, it must be classified in Chapter 85 regardless of its steel construction. Additionally, heat exchangers that do not function as radiators for space heating might be classified under 8419.50.
Top exporters and importers of HS 732219 (the code used for central heating radiator), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 732219 (the code used for central heating radiator) in UN Comtrade data was Türkiye, with 28% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the United Kingdom, with 19% 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).
