8414.30.80.30 - For motor vehicles

This HTS category, 8414.30.80.30, specifically classifies compressors designed for use within refrigerating equipment, including air conditioning systems, that utilize refrigerants other than ammonia. This encompasses a wide range of compressors found in applications such as domestic refrigerators, commercial freezers, automotive air conditioning units, and building HVAC systems. The defining characteristic is their role in the compression cycle of refrigerants essential for cooling and temperature control.

This category is distinguished from its siblings by its specificity regarding refrigerant type. Other subcategories within the "Compressors of a kind used in refrigerating equipment" heading may cover compressors for ammonia refrigerants or other more general classifications not tied to a specific refrigerant type. The focus here is exclusively on those systems employing common refrigerants such as HFCs, HCFCs, HFOs, and hydrocarbons.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this specific code hinges on confirming that the compressor is indeed intended for refrigerating equipment and operates with refrigerants other than ammonia. Practical considerations for classification include examining product specifications, manufacturer declarations, and the intended application of the compressor to ensure it meets these precise criteria.
