8414.30.80 - Other

This HTS category, 8414.30.80, encompasses compressors specifically designed for use in refrigerating equipment and air conditioning systems that do not fall under the sibling category for compressors not exceeding 1/4 horsepower. This includes a broad spectrum of compressors based on their type and capacity, as long as their primary application is for cooling or climate control. The key distinguishing factor from the 8414.30.40.00 sibling is the horsepower rating, with this category covering all compressors of a kind used in refrigerating equipment that exceed the 1/4 horsepower threshold.

The scope of 8414.30.80 is further refined by its subcategories. "Screw type" refers to compressors that utilize rotating screws to compress the refrigerant gas, a common design for larger capacity systems. The "Other" subcategory serves as a catch-all for any compressors used in refrigerating equipment and air conditioning that are not of the screw type and meet the horsepower criteria, potentially including reciprocating, scroll, or centrifugal compressors. Understanding these subdivisions is crucial for accurate classification, as the internal mechanism and design of the compressor can influence its specific classification within this broad group.
