Explore global trade with HS codes

HS Code 8419 covers machinery, plant, or laboratory equipment for treatment of materials by temperature-controlled processes. The classification includes detailed subcategories for water heaters (8419.11-8419.19), medical/laboratory sterilizers (8419.20), dryers (8419.31-8419.39), distilling/rectifying plants (8419.40), heat exchange units (8419.50), air/gas liquefaction/separation equipment (8419.60), other specialized thermal processing equipment (8419.81-8419.89), and parts (8419.90). This thermal processing technology category includes equipment for controlling material temperatures for manufacturing, processing, or scientific purposes. Products range from simple water heaters to complex chemical processing systems. Technical specifications focus on temperature range, control precision, energy efficiency, throughput capacity, and material compatibility. Applications span virtually all industrial sectors, from food processing to chemical manufacturing and pharmaceutical production. This division represents sophisticated equipment leveraging various heat transfer methods to create precisely controlled thermal conditions for transformation, preservation, separation, or purification of materials, enabling modern manufacturing processes that depend on thermal manipulation for quality and consistency.
