8418.99.40.00 - Door assemblies incorporating more than one of the following: inner panel; outer panel; insulation; hinges; handles

This HTS subheading covers door assemblies specifically designed for refrigeration or freezing equipment that incorporate multiple components. These components typically include an inner panel, an outer panel, insulation material to maintain temperature integrity, hinges for operation, and handles for user access. The emphasis is on the integrated nature of these elements forming a complete door assembly, rather than individual parts.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 8418.99.80 ("Other"), by its specific inclusion of door assemblies with the defined combination of features. Subheading 8418.99.80 would likely encompass other miscellaneous parts of refrigerating or freezing equipment not specifically enumerated elsewhere within the 8418.99 category. Therefore, an importer would classify a complete refrigerator door with insulation, hinges, and a handle under 8418.99.40.00, whereas a single hinge or handle for such equipment, if not part of a multi-component assembly, might fall under the "Other" subheading.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 8418.99.40.00 is determined by the presence of the specified integrated components within the door assembly for refrigerating or freezing machinery. The absence of any one of the listed components (inner panel, outer panel, insulation, hinges, handles) would necessitate considering alternative classifications.
