8414.90.41.65 - Compressor housings

This classification, HTS Code 8414.90.41.65, specifically covers compressor housings that are parts of air or vacuum pumps, air or other gas compressors, and fans. These housings are the external or internal enclosures designed to contain and protect the critical components of a compressor, such as the pistons, rotors, or impellers, and to facilitate the flow of air or gas during operation. They are essential structural elements that contribute to the overall functionality and integrity of the compressor unit.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, HTS Code 8414.90.41.80 covers impeller covers and hubs, which are specific components directly associated with the rotating element of certain compressor types. This current classification for "Compressor housings" is broader, encompassing the main structural shell or casing of the compressor. HTS Code 8414.90.41.90, "Other," is a residual category for compressor parts not otherwise specified, implying that "Compressor housings" are a distinct and specifically identified type of compressor part.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories for this specific code. Therefore, classification into 8414.90.41.65 is final, contingent upon the item being a housing for a compressor and not fitting into more specific sibling categories. When classifying, one should consider the primary function and physical form of the part to ensure it aligns with the definition of a compressor housing rather than a specific internal component like an impeller hub.
