HTS heading 8416 is a four-digit product category for equipment that supplies or burns fuel in furnaces, plus certain mechanical furnace-feeding and ash-handling equipment. It groups together burners for liquid fuel, pulverized solid fuel, or gas; mechanical stokers and related mechanical grates and ash dischargers; similar furnace appliances; and parts of those goods.
To reach the correct eight-digit HTSUS code, first identify the complete article and its principal function. Then follow the subheadings and tariff provisions that distinguish the equipment by fuel type, design, whether it is a complete machine or a part, and other descriptions in the tariff. Material may matter for some parts or provisions, but do not assume that material alone determines classification. Read the full legal wording, including section and chapter notes, and confirm the code against current official HTSUS information or a customs broker’s advice.
What to check
- Identify whether the item is a liquid-fuel, pulverized-solid-fuel, or gas burner, a mechanical stoker, a grate, an ash discharger, another furnace appliance, or a part.
- Describe the item’s principal function, operating method, fuel compatibility, and whether it is imported complete, unfinished, or as a replacement part.
- Check whether the tariff text separates the product by fuel type, construction, material, capacity, or another technical characteristic; use only distinctions stated in the relevant provisions.
- Verify that a claimed part is designed solely or principally for heading 8416 equipment rather than being a general-purpose component classified elsewhere.
- Review the current HTSUS heading, subheading notes, exclusions, and any applicable classification rulings; obtain broker or binding-ruling guidance when the product could fit more than one provision.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
