U.S. imports of parts for superheated water boilers & steam/vapor generation boilers (HS 840290) totaled $83.4M in July 2026, traded with 33 countries.
Importers of Parts for Superheated Water Boilers & Steam/Vapor Generation Boilers paid $11.4M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 13% on $87.5M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Parts for Superheated Water Boilers & Steam/Vapor Generation Boilers imports of $83.4M in July 2026 ran 157% above the year-to-date monthly average of $32.5M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataReplacement and OEM components for industrial steam generators and superheated water boilers — excluding parts for central heating boilers — split into two US tariff lines: heat exchangers (8402900010) and all other parts (8402900090). Heat exchangers are singled out because they are widely traded as standalone industrial components and may otherwise be claimed under competing headings. Importers of boiler parts should confirm that the component is specifically designed for steam or vapor generation service, as general-purpose fittings or valves may classify under their own functional headings rather than here.

Heat exchangers (8402900010) are separated because they are high-value, widely traded components that also appear in many non-boiler applications. Isolating them within the boiler parts heading allows for more precise trade data collection and may affect applicable duty rates or trade-remedy exposure compared to the catch-all parts line (8402900090).
No. Heading 840290 explicitly excludes parts for central heating hot water boilers, which are covered under heading 840390. If a component is interchangeable between both boiler types, classification follows the principal use or, if that cannot be determined, the heading that appears last in numerical order under GRI 3(c). A binding ruling from CBP is advisable for dual-use parts.
