8418.29.10.00 - Absorption type, electrical

This HTS category, 8418.29.10.00, specifically classifies household-type refrigerators that operate on the absorption principle and are powered by electricity. This means they utilize a heat source to drive a chemical process that results in cooling, rather than the more common mechanical compression system. The key distinguishing factor for this subheading is the combination of its application as a household refrigerator and its electrical absorption cooling mechanism.

This category is distinguished from its sibling category, 8418.29.20.00 ("Other"), which would encompass other types of non-compressor, household refrigerators not specifically designated as electrical absorption units. Therefore, if a household refrigerator uses a different cooling method (e.g., thermoelectric cooling) or is not electrically powered, it would fall under the "Other" sibling category.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within this specific code is determined by confirming that the unit is designed for household use, employs an absorption refrigeration system, and utilizes electricity as its power source. Examples would include certain compact or RV refrigerators that rely on this technology to maintain cold temperatures for food storage in a domestic or travel environment.
