Classification of automotive radiators CN 870891

CN code 870891 covers radiators and their parts intended for motor vehicles under headings 8701 to 8705. Radiators are cooling system components responsible for dissipating heat from the coolant to the surrounding air. This code classifies liquid (water) radiators, engine oil coolers, transmission oil coolers, charge air coolers (intercoolers), and air conditioning condensers. The code covers both complete radiators and their parts – radiator cores, expansion tanks, radiator caps, and thermostats. Importing radiators follows standard customs procedures, and duty rates should be verified in the TARIC or ISZTAR system. Radiators do not require separate E-mark approval but must meet quality standards ensuring safe operation of the vehicle cooling system.

Import requirements for automotive radiators

Importing radiators classified under CN code 870891 requires a correct customs declaration with an accurate description of the radiator type and its purpose. The customs value includes the purchase price, transport costs, and insurance to the EU border. Aluminium radiators may be subject to different regulations than copper radiators due to material differences. Importers may benefit from preferential duty rates under EU trade agreements, provided a certificate of origin is held. Radiators intended for vehicle production for export may be placed under the inward processing procedure. Aftermarket radiators should meet thermal performance standards comparable to original parts. Importing radiators containing refrigerant (in the case of air conditioning condensers) is subject to additional regulations on substances controlled by the EU F-gas Regulation.

Automotive radiator market and technologies

The automotive radiator market is evolving under the influence of changes in vehicle design. Electric vehicles require radiators for battery pack thermal management, creating a new market segment. Electric vehicle cooling systems use plate heat exchangers and low-pressure radiators. Traditional radiators for combustion engines remain dominant, with a growing share of aluminium constructions replacing copper ones. Manufacturers such as Denso, Valeo, Mahle, and Nissens supply radiators to OEM and aftermarket channels. Asian radiator imports represent a significant share of the European replacement market. Innovations include radiators with reduced mass and increased thermal efficiency, integrated radiators combining engine cooling and air conditioning functions, and materials with enhanced corrosion resistance.

Frequently asked questions

Do aftermarket radiators require certification in the EU?
Aftermarket radiators do not require E-mark approval or other mandatory safety certificates in the EU. They must however meet general product safety standards and provide thermal performance close to original parts. Aftermarket manufacturers typically offer radiators with ISO 9001 certification confirming their quality management system. Radiators not meeting performance standards may cause engine overheating, which constitutes a safety hazard for the vehicle and its occupants.
How to classify a radiator for an electric vehicle battery?
A radiator designed for battery pack thermal management in an electric vehicle is classified under CN code 870891 as a cooling system part for a motor vehicle. Electric vehicles fall under heading 8703, and their radiators constitute parts of these vehicles. Regardless of whether the radiator cools a combustion engine, electric motor, or battery pack, its classification as a vehicle part remains the same under the Combined Nomenclature.
Is an intercooler classified under CN 870891?
Yes, an intercooler (charge air cooler) intended for motor vehicles is classified under CN code 870891 as a vehicle cooling system element. An intercooler cools compressed air supplied by a turbocharger or supercharger, improving cylinder filling and engine efficiency. It is an element integrally connected to the vehicle cooling system. Importing intercoolers follows the same customs procedures as other automotive radiators and cooling components.
