8415.10.30.40 - Less than 2.93 kW per hour

This HTS classification pertains to self-contained air conditioning machines, designed for cooling and dehumidifying, with a cooling capacity of less than 2.93 kW per hour. These units are characterized by their all-in-one construction, housing all essential components such as the compressor, condenser, evaporator, and fan within a single casing. They are typically installed in a fixed location, such as a window, wall, or floor, and are designed to operate as a complete system.

The distinction between this category and its siblings lies solely in the specified cooling capacity. While this HTS code covers units with a capacity under 2.93 kW, the sibling categories address machines with greater capacities, specifically those between 2.93 kW and 4.98 kW (8415.10.30.60), and those 4.98 kW or greater (8415.10.30.80). This precise measurement of cooling output is the primary differentiating factor for classification at this level.

As this classification node represents a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification for a self-contained air conditioning unit will conclude at this point, provided it meets the specified cooling capacity criteria and the other general requirements for Chapter 84 machinery designed for fixed installation and comprising a fan and temperature/humidity regulation elements.
