Heat pumps at customs: what to check
- Commodity code. In the UK Trade Tariff, heat pumps other than the air conditioning machines of heading 8415 are classified under subheading 8418 61, with a separate subheading for units pre-charged with HFCs (UK Trade Tariff). We explain how to find the right code in HS codes: what they are and how to find the right one.
- Conformity and marking. Check the marking and conformity documents required for the destination market — see the key certificates for importing into the UK and UKCA.
- Refrigerants. Units charged with fluorinated greenhouse gases are subject to separate rules that may restrict their import; verify this requirement before ordering.

In the UK Trade Tariff, heat pumps other than the air conditioning machines of heading 8415 fall under subheading 8418 61; units pre-charged with hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) have a separate subheading. The final code depends on the design of the unit — see our article on HS codes.
What should I check when importing heat pumps into the UK or EU?
The commodity code and duty rate, required marking and conformity documents, and refrigerant (F-gas) rules, which may restrict the import of HFC-charged units. Resolve any doubts before the first shipment.
