14 six-digit codes · Heading 19 of 86 in Chapter 84 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 8419 covers machines that heat, cool, dry or boil materials to treat them, plus certain water heaters. Use this page to see what is inside the heading, pick the right six-digit code and find the closest neighbouring headings.
Heading 8419 is finely cut: 14 six-digit codes, 841911 to 841990, all of them under “Machinery, plant (not domestic), or laboratory equipment; electrically heated or not, (excluding items in 85.14) for the treatment of materials by a process involving change of temperature; including instantaneous or non electric storage water heaters”. At that depth it is the exact wording of the code, not of the heading, that settles a classification. The heading is number 19 of 86 in Chapter 84, Machinery and mechanical appliances, boilers, nuclear reactors; parts thereof, which runs to 538 six-digit codes in all.

What HS code 8419 covers
The machine treats a material by changing its temperature. It might heat the material, dry it, boil it off or cool it down until it turns to liquid.
The heading covers plant and laboratory equipment, whether it runs on electricity or not. It also holds instantaneous water heaters and non-electric storage water heaters. In short, if a machine's main job is to change the temperature of a material as part of a process, look here first.
Typical goods are industrial dryers, freeze drying and lyophilisation apparatus, spray dryers, medical and laboratory sterilizers, distilling plant, heat exchange units and air or gas liquefying machinery. Solar water heaters and instantaneous gas water heaters are here too.
How to choose the right 8419 code
The six-digit code depends on what the machine does. Work through the questions below in order. The first one that matches your product is usually the right place to start.
Always read the full wording of the code. Many of them say the equipment is not for domestic use. That wording can decide where a product belongs.
- A water heater? Pick 841911 for gas models that heat on demand, 841912 for solar models and 841919 for any other non-electric heater, instant or storage.
- A sterilizer for hospitals, surgery or labs? Pick 841920.
- A dryer? Pick 841933 for freeze and spray drying, 841934 for farm produce, 841935 for wood, pulp, paper or paperboard, and 841939 for any other dryer in this heading.
- Distilling or rectifying plant? Pick 841940.
- A heat exchange unit? Pick 841950.
- A machine that turns air or gas into liquid? Pick 841960.
- Pick 841981.
- A temperature treatment machine that fits none of the above? Pick 841989.
- A part for such equipment? Pick 841990.
What is not classified under 8419
The heading text leaves out one group of electrically heated items that another heading in the tariff already covers. If your machine is electric and heats things, check that other heading first.
Several neighbours are easy to mix up with 8419. Cooling and freezing equipment, and heat pumps that are not air conditioners, belong to HS 8418 refrigerating and freezing equipment. Non-electric industrial furnaces and ovens, including incinerators, go to HS 8417 industrial furnaces and ovens. Steam boilers sit in HS 8402 steam boilers, and central heating boilers sit in HS 8403 central heating boilers.
Machines that separate or purify by spinning or filtering belong to HS 8421 centrifuges and filtering machinery. Machines that change the temperature and humidity of air are in HS 8415 air conditioning machines. Food and drink machinery not named elsewhere in the chapter goes to HS 8438 food processing machinery.
