Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 8418 when importing refrigerators, freezers, or heat pumps. For example, if you're bringing in a combined refrigerator-freezer with separate doors, this heading is applicable. Knowing the specifics of your product will help you choose the correct HS-6 subheading.

When deciding between 841821 and 841829, consider the type of refrigerator. If it’s a compression-type model for household use, go with 841821. If it’s a non-compression model, such as an absorption refrigerator, you should select 841829. This distinction is crucial for accurate classification.

For freezers, the choice between 841830 and 841840 hinges on design and capacity. If your shipment includes a chest freezer with a capacity under 800 liters, use 841830. If it’s an upright freezer with a capacity under 900 liters, then 841840 is the correct code. This ensures compliance with customs regulations.
