Product classification
HS code for Oil burner: 8416.10
Furnaces, furnace burners, for liquid fuel.
Classification of oil burner under HS 8416.10
Oil burners are classified under HS code 8416.10. This code is located in Chapter 84, which covers mechanical appliances and machinery. Heading 8416 specifically addresses furnace burners for liquid fuel, pulverized solid fuel, or gas, as well as mechanical stokers and similar appliances. The sub-heading 8416.10 is dedicated exclusively to burners designed for liquid fuel, which includes various grades of heating oil, heavy fuel oil, and waste oil. These devices are engineered to atomize the liquid fuel and mix it with air to facilitate efficient combustion within a furnace, boiler, or other heating equipment. The classification covers the burner as a standalone unit, which typically includes the fuel pump, nozzle, blower, and ignition electrodes. It is essential to distinguish these industrial or central heating components from domestic appliances or complete furnace systems, as the classification is based on the burner's function as a discrete mechanical component.

Codes often confused with 8416.10
Common mistake. Oil burners are often misclassified under 8416.20, which is reserved for gas burners or dual-fuel burners where gas is the primary fuel. Another common error is classifying them under 7321.81, which covers domestic liquid fuel appliances like space heaters. The distinction is that 8416.10 refers to the burner mechanism itself, usually for industrial or central heating applications, rather than a complete domestic consumer appliance. Additionally, if the burner is imported as an integral, non-detachable part of a boiler, it may be classified under 8402 or 8403.

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).
