Drainback Solar Water Heater System from United States

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.

Import Tips

• Classify the circulation pump separately under heading 8413 if imported as a separate component; the heater itself falls under 8419.12.00

• Provide technical specifications showing the absence of electric heating elements to support the tariff classification

• Ensure the drainback tank and collectors are described accurately on the customs invoice
