8402.19.00.00 - Other vapor generating boilers, including hybrid boilers 🖩

HTS Code 8402.19.00.00 encompasses all other steam or vapor generating boilers that do not fall under the specific classifications for watertube boilers based on steam production capacity. This includes boilers designed for generating steam for industrial processes, power generation, or other applications where the primary function is steam production, and they are not primarily designed as central heating hot water boilers capable of producing low-pressure steam. The defining characteristic is their capability to generate steam or other vapors.

This classification serves as a residual category for steam and vapor generating boilers, distinguishing itself from its siblings, HTS codes 8402.11.00.00 and 8402.12.00.00, which are exclusively for watertube boilers. Those sibling categories are differentiated by their steam production capacity, either exceeding or not exceeding 45 metric tons per hour, respectively. Therefore, HTS 8402.19.00.00 captures all other types of steam or vapor generating boilers, such as fire-tube boilers or other designs not specified by capacity thresholds within the watertube boiler categories.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 8402.19.00.00 will depend on the specific design and functional purpose of the boiler, ensuring it meets the criteria of generating steam or vapor and is not specifically classified elsewhere within Chapter 84. Key considerations for classification will include the boiler's construction, heating method, and intended application for steam generation.
