Overview
This HTS classification, 8415.10.30.60, specifically designates self-contained air conditioning units designed for fixed installation (window, wall, ceiling, or floor) that possess a cooling capacity of 2.93 kW per hour or greater, but less than 4.98 kW per hour. These units are characterized by integrating all essential components—such as the compressor, condenser, evaporator, and fan—within a single casing. They are intended for individual room or zone climate control and are not designed for portability.
The primary differentiator for this category lies in its defined cooling capacity range. It is distinct from sibling category 8415.10.30.40, which covers self-contained units with a cooling capacity below 2.93 kW per hour, and sibling category 8415.10.30.80, which encompasses units with a capacity of 4.98 kW per hour or greater. Therefore, accurate determination of the unit's rated cooling output is paramount for correct classification.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subdivisions under 8415.10.30.60. Classification at this level is determined by the unit's self-contained nature, its fixed installation design, and its specific cooling capacity falling within the specified kilowatt range. Examples of products falling into this category would include various window air conditioners and compact, self-contained split-system air conditioners that meet the defined cooling output thresholds.
