Overview
This HTS classification, 8418.21.00.20, specifically covers household-type refrigerators of the compression type that have a total refrigerated volume ranging from 184 liters and above, up to but not including 269 liters. These are typically freestanding or built-in units designed for domestic use, employing a vapor compression cycle to maintain low temperatures for food preservation.
This category is distinguished from its sibling categories by its defined volume range. For instance, 8418.21.00.10 covers smaller capacity units with a refrigerated volume under 184 liters, while 8418.21.00.30 and 8418.21.00.90 classify refrigerators with larger capacities, starting from 269 liters and 382 liters respectively. The precise internal storage capacity is the primary determinant for classification within this group.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories under 8418.21.00.20. Therefore, classification within this code is solely dependent on the unit's designation as a household-type, compression-type refrigerator and its specific refrigerated volume falling within the 184 to 268.99 liter range. This ensures accurate tariff application based on these critical physical characteristics.
