Products classified under Tariff item 8419.12.00.00
Commercial Solar Water Heating Station
A commercial-scale solar water heating station designed for hotels or apartment buildings, incorporating multiple collectors, heat exchangers, and stratification tanks. It operates without electric heating elements, using solar energy to raise water temperature, and is classified under tariff item 8419.12.00 as a non-electric solar water heater.
8419.12.00Drainback Solar Water Heater System
A drainback solar water heater system that uses distilled water in the collector loop and automatically drains the collectors when the pump stops, preventing freezing. Despite the minimal pump for circulation, the primary function is solar water heating without electric heating, qualifying for tariff item 8419.12.00.
8419.12.00Evacuated Tube Solar Water Heater
An evacuated tube solar water heater that uses vacuum-sealed glass tubes to absorb solar energy and transfer heat to water via a glycol-based fluid. It operates without electric heating, making it a non-electric solar water heater under tariff item 8419.12.00.
8419.12.00Flat Plate Solar Water Heater Panel System
A flat plate solar water heater panel system with copper absorber plates and selective coating, circulating water through an insulated storage tank. It relies solely on solar radiation for heating, qualifying as a non-electric solar water heater under tariff item 8419.12.00.
8419.12.00High-Temperature Solar Water Heater for Process Heat
A high-temperature solar water heater using concentrating collectors to produce water at 80-120°C for industrial washing or preheating. Tariff item 8419.12.00 covers solar water heaters regardless of the output temperature or end use, as long as the heating is non-electric.
8419.12.00Integral Collector Storage Solar Water Heater
An integral collector storage solar water heater where the storage tank doubles as the solar collector, absorbing heat directly for batch heating. This one-piece design operates without electric heating, qualifying for tariff item 8419.12.00 as a non-electric solar water heater.
8419.12.00Pool Solar Water Heater Panels
Unglazed polymer panels designed for low-temperature pool water heating, circulated through existing filtration systems. These panels raise water temperature using solar energy without electric heating, and are classified under tariff item 8419.12.00 as non-electric solar water heaters.
8419.12.00Roof-Mounted Active Solar Water Heating System
A roof-mounted active solar water heating system with collectors, a circulating pump, and an insulated storage tank. Despite the pump for circulation, the heating function is entirely solar and non-electric, qualifying for tariff item 8419.12.00.
8419.12.00Thermosiphon Passive Solar Water Heater
A passive thermosiphon solar water heater that relies on natural convection to circulate water between roof collectors and a ground-level storage tank, with no pumps. It operates entirely without electricity for heating, qualifying for tariff item 8419.12.00 as a non-electric solar water heater.
