8414.90.10 - Of fans (including blowers) and ventilating or recycling hoods

This HTS category, 8414.90.10, specifically encompasses parts for fans (including blowers) and ventilating or recycling hoods. This means it covers components such as housings, impellers, motors dedicated to powering these units, grilles, filters, and other constituent elements designed for use in equipment classified under the broader heading of fans and hoods within Chapter 84. The primary function of these parts is to facilitate air movement or circulation within these specified appliances.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its sibling, 8414.90.91, which is designated for "Other" parts within the "Parts" section of heading 8414. While 8414.90.10 is precisely for components of fans and hoods, 8414.90.91 would apply to parts of compressors and any other components not specifically enumerated in other subcategories of 8414.90. Therefore, classification here is driven by the specific end-use appliance the part is intended for.

To further refine classification, this category is subdivided into more specific subcategories. 8414.90.10.40 covers parts specifically designed for fans falling under subheading 8414.51, which often refers to smaller desk or portable fans. The remaining parts for fans and hoods not covered by that specific subheading are classified under 8414.90.10.80, allowing for a granular breakdown of various components based on their precise application and the specific type of fan or hood they support.
