Product classification
HS code for Gas burner: 8416.20
Furnaces, furnace burners, for pulverized solid fuel or gas, including combination burners.
Classification of gas burner under HS 8416.20
Gas burners are classified under HS code 8416.20, which pertains to furnace burners for liquid fuel, pulverized solid fuel, or gas. This classification is governed by the function of the apparatus as a mechanical device designed to facilitate the controlled combustion of gas to produce heat for industrial or large-scale heating applications. Heading 8416 specifically includes mechanical stokers, mechanical grates, and similar appliances. Subheading 8416.20 covers burners that are not specifically for liquid fuel (8416.10) but are designed for gas or other fuels. It is important to note that this code applies to the burner unit itself, which may be imported separately or as part of a larger furnace system. The classification excludes domestic cooking or heating appliances, which are categorized based on their constituent material, typically iron or steel in Chapter 73. The essential character of the item under 8416.20 is its role in industrial thermal processing, power generation, or central heating systems.

Codes often confused with 8416.20
Common mistake. The most common error is using 7321.11 for industrial gas burners. 7321 is strictly for domestic appliances like kitchen ranges and stoves. Another confusion arises with 8417, which covers industrial furnaces and ovens. While a burner is a part of a furnace, if it is presented separately, it must be classified under 8416.20. If the burner is integrated into a complete furnace, the entire unit is classified under 8417. Furthermore, gas valves used within the burner should be classified under 8481 if imported separately, rather than under the burner code.

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).
