8418.21.00.90 - Having a refrigerated volume of 382 liters and over

This HTS classification, 8418.21.00.90, specifically covers household refrigerators of the compression type that have a refrigerated volume of 382 liters and over. These are designed for domestic use to preserve food and other perishable items through refrigeration. The emphasis on a substantial refrigerated volume distinguishes these larger capacity units from their smaller counterparts within the same "compression type" category.

Distinguishing this code from its siblings is critical for accurate classification. HTS codes 8418.21.00.10, 8418.21.00.20, and 8418.21.00.30 apply to household compression-type refrigerators with progressively smaller refrigerated volumes: under 184 liters, 184 liters and over but under 269 liters, and 269 liters and over but under 382 liters, respectively. Therefore, the defining characteristic for 8418.21.00.90 is the capacity exceeding 382 liters, indicating larger models typically found in family homes or for bulk storage needs.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 8418.21.00.90 is final once the item meets the criteria of being a household, compression-type refrigerator with a refrigerated volume of 382 liters or more. This level of detail ensures that specific models are accurately categorized, facilitating trade and the application of customs duties and regulations.
