Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the insert is presented as an integral part of a boiler rather than as separate auxiliary plant
Parts of steam or other vapour generating boilers are classified under heading 84.02.
If the economizer is a standalone heat exchange unit not specifically designed for boiler integration
Heat exchange units are classified under heading 84.19 when not auxiliary to boilers.
