Other, except parts: other, incorporating a refrigerating unit
Analysis
HTS 8415.82.01 covers other, except parts: other, incorporating a refrigerating unit under heading 8415 (air conditioning machines, comprising a motor-driven fan and elements for changing the…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 10 ten-digit suffixes, reported in number of items.
Rates on the nearby lines range from duty-free to 2.2%. The costliest confusion would be with 8415.10.30 (of a kind designed to be fixed to a window, wall, ceiling or floor…) at duty-free, a difference of 2.2 points on the customs value.
The general duty rate is 2.2% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 84 (64th percentile of 823 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $220 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 35%, 15.9 times the general rate.
The ten-digit suffixes separate not exceeding 17.58 kW per hour, exceeding 17.58 kW per hour, not exceeding 17.58 kW per hour, exceeding 17.58 kW per hour, room fan coil units and central station air handlers and 2 more. The duty is the same across them; the suffix matters for statistics, licensing and some quotas, and an entry needs all ten digits.
Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Automotive Products Trade Act, the Bahrain FTA, the civil aircraft agreement, and 14 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 2.2%. It is also eligible under GSP, the developing-country programme, which Congress has to renew; check whether GSP is in force on the entry date.
