HS-4 · Heading

8415 — Air conditioning machines; comprising a motor driven fan and elements for changing the temperature and humidity, including those machines in which the humidity cannot be separately regulated

Chapter 84: Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 8415 when importing air conditioning machines that include a motor-driven fan and components for adjusting temperature and humidity. For example, if you're shipping a split-system air conditioner designed for wall installation, this code applies.

When deciding among the subheadings, consider whether the air conditioning unit is designed for fixed installation (like 841510) or is intended for vehicles (like 841520). The distinction is crucial for compliance and duty rates.

If the unit is a reversible heat pump, you would classify it under 841581. However, if it lacks a refrigerating unit, you would use 841583. Understanding these nuances helps ensure accurate classification and avoids potential penalties.

For parts related to air conditioning machines, use 841590. This is essential for any components that support the functioning of the main units, ensuring you have the correct tariff for your imports.
