8414.30.80.20 - Exceeding 200 horsepower

This HTS classification applies to screw-type compressors that are specifically designed for use in refrigerating or air conditioning equipment and have a power rating exceeding 200 horsepower. These compressors are integral components in larger-scale cooling systems, such as industrial chillers, large commercial HVAC systems, and commercial refrigeration units where significant cooling capacity is required.

The key distinguishing factor for this category, 8414.30.80.20, is the horsepower threshold. It is directly contrasted with its sibling category, 8414.30.80.10, which covers screw-type compressors for refrigeration equipment with a power rating not exceeding 200 horsepower. Therefore, an importer must accurately determine the horsepower output of the screw compressor to ensure correct classification.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subcategories. Classification is finalized based on the type of compressor (screw-type), its intended use (refrigerating equipment), and its power output (exceeding 200 horsepower). For practical classification, verification of the compressor's nameplate specifications regarding horsepower is crucial.
