HS Code 840212

HS code 840212 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Steam or other vapour generating boilers (other than central heating hot water boilers capable also of producing low pressure steam); superheated water boilers : Steam or other vapour generating boilers : Watertube boilers with a steam production not exceeding 45 tonnes per hour". The first two digits (84) are the chapter — Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; parts — and digits 3-4 (8402) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

Common products classified under 840212 include small water tube boiler, packaged boiler, low-capacity steam boiler and similar items matching watertube boilers with a steam production not…. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.

Duty is set by the destination country, not by the 6-digit HS code alone. Start from the official tariff of your market — USITC HTS (US), TARIC / Access2Markets (EU), GOV.UK Trade Tariff (UK), CBSA (Canada), ABF (Australia) or Singapore Customs — and look up the full national code with China as the country of origin.

The first 6 digits (840212) are the same worldwide under the WCO Harmonized System. Beyond that, each country extends the code (HTS in the US, TARIC in the EU, etc.) and sets its own duty and tax rates.

Treat a supplier-provided code as a clue, not a final classification. It can be incomplete, China-export-specific, or mismatched to your destination's rules. Verify against the official tariff and your product's actual material and use.
