U.S. imports of super-heated water boilers (SITC 71112) totaled $377K in July 2026, traded with 14 countries.

Importers of Super-Heated Water Boilers paid $167K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 3.3% on $5.0M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Super-Heated Water Boilers imports of $377K in July 2026 ran 63% above the year-to-date monthly average of $231K.

Last updated: July 2026 data

Super-heated water boilers generate pressurized hot water above normal boiling point for district heating systems, industrial process heat, and large commercial facilities. Unlike steam boilers, these units operate in a liquid-phase pressurized loop, which affects both engineering specifications and classification at the border. Importers should confirm whether a unit qualifies as a super-heated water boiler versus a steam generator, as the distinction drives the applicable tariff line and any applicable Section 232 steel/aluminum content considerations for the pressure vessel components.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is a super-heated water boiler distinguished from a steam boiler for customs classification purposes?

A super-heated water boiler maintains water in liquid phase under pressure at temperatures above 100°C, whereas a steam boiler produces vapor. Customs classification turns on the operating principle and design documentation; importers should provide technical specifications and engineering drawings to support the correct classification.

Are pressure vessel safety standards relevant to the import of super-heated water boilers?

Yes. While US Customs and Border Protection handles tariff classification, super-heated water boilers intended for installation must typically comply with ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code requirements enforced at the state level. Buyers should confirm code compliance before shipment to avoid costly retrofits or rejection by local inspectors.
