About this HS Code
HS Code 8418 encompasses refrigerators, freezers, and other refrigerating or freezing equipment; heat pumps other than air conditioning machines. The classification includes detailed subcategories for combined refrigerator-freezers (8418.10), household refrigerators (8418.21-8418.29), freezers (8418.30-8418.40), other cooling equipment (8418.50-8418.69), and parts (8418.91-8418.99). This temperature control equipment category includes appliances and machinery for cooling and preservation. Products range from household refrigerators to industrial cooling systems and specialized scientific equipment. Manufacturing involves assembly of multiple components including compressors, heat exchangers, controls, and insulated enclosures. Technical specifications focus on temperature range, stability, energy efficiency, capacity, and reliability. Unlike air conditioners (HS 8415), these systems primarily aim to create below-ambient temperatures for food preservation, material processing, or other specific requirements rather than general environmental comfort. This division represents technology fundamental to modern food systems, pharmaceutical processing, scientific research, and numerous industrial processes requiring controlled low-temperature environments.
