HS code for Charcoal heater: 7321.89
Domestic appliances, non-electric, (other than cookers and plate warmers), for solid fuel and fuels other than gas or liquid, of iron or steel.
Classification of charcoal heater under HS 7321.89
The classification of a charcoal heater under HS code 7321.89 is determined by its material composition and functional application as a non-electric domestic appliance. Heading 7321 specifically covers stoves, ranges, grates, cookers, and similar non-electric domestic appliances made of iron or steel. Since charcoal heaters are designed for domestic use and operate using solid fuel, they fall within this category. The subheading 7321.89 is a residual category for appliances that are not designed for cooking or plate warming (which are covered under 7321.11 through 7321.19) and do not use gas or liquid fuel. The classification follows General Interpretative Rule (GRI) 1, which dictates that classification is determined by the terms of the headings and any relative section or chapter notes. Because these heaters are primarily constructed from ferrous metal and lack electrical heating elements, they are excluded from Chapter 85 and placed firmly in Chapter 73. The item must be of a type used for domestic purposes; industrial furnaces or space heaters for large commercial buildings would be classified elsewhere, typically under heading 8417 or 7322.

Codes often confused with 7321.89
Common mistake. Charcoal heaters are frequently misclassified under HS code 7321.19, which is reserved for cooking appliances and plate warmers using solid fuel. While they look similar, a heater intended only for warmth must stay in 7321.89. Another common error is using 8516.29 for electric space heaters; however, if the unit does not use electricity to generate heat, Chapter 85 is inapplicable. Additionally, large-scale industrial heaters are often confused with domestic ones, but those should be classified under 7322.90 if they include a fan or blower, or 8417 if they are industrial furnaces.

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).
