Overview
This HTS classification, 8414.30.80.50, specifically identifies compressors utilized in refrigerating equipment that fall within a defined horsepower range. These compressors are designed for cooling systems, and their capacity is characterized as exceeding 1/4 horsepower but not exceeding 1 horsepower. This precise wattage limitation is the primary criterion for inclusion in this subcategory, distinguishing them from compressors with lower or higher power outputs.
The key differentiator for this category lies in its horsepower range. Sibling categories at the same level, such as 8414.30.80.60, 8414.30.80.70, and 8414.30.80.80, capture compressors exceeding 1 horsepower, 3 horsepower, and 10 horsepower, respectively. Therefore, an imported or exported compressor for refrigeration will be classified here if its power output meets the specified threshold of greater than 1/4 horsepower and up to and including 1 horsepower, and is intended for use with refrigerants other than ammonia.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification is determined solely by the horsepower range and the intended application as a compressor for refrigerating equipment, excluding ammonia refrigerants. This level of detail ensures precise customs treatment for a specific segment of refrigeration machinery.
