Cooking appliances and plate warmers, for liquid fuel, of iron or steel.
Classification of liquid fuel stove under HS 7321.12
The classification of liquid fuel stoves under HS code 7321.12 is determined by the material composition, the intended domestic use, and the specific energy source. According to the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI) 1, heading 7321 covers stoves, ranges, and similar non-electric domestic appliances made of iron or steel. Subheading 7321.12 is specifically reserved for those designed to utilize liquid fuel, such as kerosene, paraffin, or methylated spirits. These appliances are distinguished by their burner mechanisms, which are engineered to vaporize or wick liquid fuel for combustion, unlike gas-fueled or solid-fuel variants. To qualify for this code, the appliance must be primarily constructed from iron or steel; appliances made of copper or other materials would fall under different chapters. Furthermore, the product must be for domestic use; industrial-grade ovens or heating units are excluded and typically classified under Chapter 84. The classification also accounts for the function of the device, which must be for cooking or warming plates, as opposed to space heaters which are classified under a different subheading within the same heading.

The primary distinction lies in the fuel delivery system. Additionally, electric stoves are classified under HS code 8516.60, as heading 7321 is strictly for non-electric appliances. Industrial liquid fuel burners used in manufacturing are classified under HS code 8416.20.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).
