Overview
This HTS classification covers combined refrigerator-freezers that are equipped with separate external doors or drawers, or a combination of both. These appliances utilize a compression-type refrigeration system for cooling. The specific defining characteristic for this category is the refrigerated volume, which must be at least 269 liters but less than 382 liters. This size range is critical for accurate classification, distinguishing these units from smaller or larger capacity models.
The primary distinguishing factor from its sibling categories lies in the precise refrigerated volume. For instance, HTS code 8418.10.00.10 and 8418.10.00.20 cover smaller combined refrigerator-freezers with volumes under 184 liters and between 184 and 269 liters, respectively. Conversely, a sibling category exists for combined refrigerator-freezers with a refrigerated volume of 382 liters and over, indicating a higher capacity unit. Therefore, the 269 to under 382 liter range is the sole criterion for inclusion in this specific classification.
As this classification represents a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories to detail. Classification decisions at this level are concluded based on the fulfillment of the volumetric requirement and the presence of separate external doors or drawers in a compression-type combined refrigerator-freezer.
