Overview
This HTS category, 8414.30.80.80, specifically covers compressors designed for refrigerating equipment (including air conditioning systems) that are rated to exceed 10 horsepower. These are powerful compressors used in larger commercial or industrial refrigeration applications, such as large walk-in freezers, industrial chillers, or extensive building air conditioning systems. The classification hinges on both the intended use within refrigeration and the significant power output exceeding the 10 horsepower threshold.
This category is distinguished from its siblings by its horsepower rating. While 8414.30.80.50, .60, and .70 cover compressors ranging from 1/4 horsepower up to 10 horsepower, this particular classification applies only to those units with a power rating greater than 10 horsepower. This distinction is crucial for accurately determining applicable duties and trade regulations based on the scale of the refrigeration equipment.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus remains on the precise definition of compressors for refrigerating equipment exceeding 10 horsepower. Classification within this heading relies heavily on the manufacturer's specifications regarding horsepower rating, as well as the clear identification of the compressor's intended use in a refrigeration or air conditioning system.
