Overview
This HTS category, 8418.10.00.20, specifically covers combined refrigerator-freezers that are equipped with separate external doors or drawers, or combinations thereof. The defining characteristic for this classification is a refrigerated volume that falls within a precise range: it must be 184 liters or more, but strictly less than 269 liters. These appliances are designed for both refrigeration and freezing functions, typically featuring distinct compartments accessible through individual external openings, enhancing user convenience and organization.
The distinction between this subcategory and its siblings lies solely in the specified refrigerated volume. Category 8418.10.00.10 encompasses combined refrigerator-freezers with a refrigerated volume *under* 184 liters. Conversely, 8418.10.00.30 covers those with a volume of 269 liters or more but under 382 liters, and the following category (without a specific code listed here, but implied) covers those 382 liters and over. Therefore, accurate measurement of the total refrigerated and freezer compartment volume is crucial for correct classification within this specific sub-range.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification at this level is determined by the appliance's construction as a combined refrigerator-freezer with separate external access points and its precise total refrigerated volume falling within the 184 to under 269 liter range.
