Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 841810 when importing or exporting electric refrigerators and freezers, such as a commercial refrigerator used in a grocery store. This code specifically applies to appliances designed for refrigeration or freezing that are powered by electricity.
This HS-6 line distinguishes itself from HS-6 841820, which covers refrigerating equipment that uses gas or other non-electric means. If your product relies on electricity for cooling, 841810 is the correct classification.
