8415.10.30.80 - 4.98 kW per hour or greater

This HTS category, 8415.10.30.80, specifically classifies self-contained air conditioning machines that are designed for fixed installation (window, wall, ceiling, or floor) and possess a cooling capacity of 4.98 kW per hour or greater. These units integrate all essential components, including the cooling mechanism, fan, and controls, within a single housing. The defining characteristic for this classification is the substantial cooling output, indicating units designed for larger spaces or higher cooling demands.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 8415.10.30.40 and 8415.10.30.60, is solely based on the unit's rated cooling capacity. While the other sibling categories cover units with lesser cooling power (less than 2.93 kW and 2.93 kW or greater but less than 4.98 kW, respectively), this category addresses the higher-capacity machines. Therefore, the precise kW rating is the critical differentiator for correct classification.

As this node is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification under this code signifies that the air conditioning machine meets all the preceding criteria: it is designed for fixed installation, is self-contained, and has a cooling capacity of 4.98 kW per hour or greater. Examples of goods falling under this classification would include high-capacity window air conditioners or self-contained split systems designed for significant cooling loads in commercial or industrial settings.
