Boilers; watertube boilers with a steam production not exceeding 45t per hour

HS code 840212 covers watertube boilers with a steam production capacity not exceeding 45 tons per hour. These boilers are a critical component in various industrial and commercial applications, providing essential steam generation for power, heating, and industrial processes. As a key part of the broader 84 Machinery; nuclear reactors, boilers, parts thereof industry, these boilers play a vital role in supporting economic activity across numerous sectors.

Watertube boilers covered under HS code 840212 are manufactured through a multi-step process. The production begins with the fabrication of the boiler tubes, which are typically made from steel or other heat-resistant alloys. These tubes are then assembled into a compact, high-pressure design that maximizes heat transfer and steam production. The boiler is then outfitted with various control systems, safety features, and auxiliary equipment to ensure efficient and safe operation.

The primary inputs required for the production of HS code 840212 boilers include steel or other metal alloy tubing, as well as specialized components such as burners, valves, and control systems. Manufacturers also rely on advanced manufacturing equipment, including welding machines, tube bending tools, and precision cutting tools. Additionally, the production process requires skilled labor, including boiler technicians, welders, and engineers, to ensure the quality and reliability of the final product.

Boilers classified under HS code 840212 are primarily used to generate steam for a variety of industrial and commercial applications. The steam produced by these boilers can be used for power generation, process heating, or building heating and cooling systems. The output of these boilers may be consumed by industries such as 27 Mineral fuels, mineral oils and products of their distillation; bituminous substances; mineral waxes, 28 Inorganic chemicals; organic or inorganic compounds of precious metals, of rare-earth metals, of radioactive elements or of isotopes, and 29 Organic chemicals.
