Combined refrigerator-freezers, fitted with separate external doors or drawers, or combinations thereof
Analysis
HTS 8418.10.00 covers combined refrigerator-freezers, fitted with separate external doors or drawers, or combinations thereof under heading 8418 (refrigerators, freezers and other refrigerating or freezing equipment, electric or other…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 9 ten-digit suffixes, reported in number of items.
Within this group the rate runs from duty-free to 1.9%. Compared with 8418.29.20 (other: other), which pays 1.9%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 1.9 percentage points.
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 35% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 35% duty.
The ten-digit suffixes separate having a refrigerated volume of under…, having a refrigerated volume of 184…, having a refrigerated volume of 269…, having an external depth and refrigerators with a top freezer…. The duty is the same across them; the suffix matters for statistics, licensing and some quotas, and an entry needs all ten digits.
The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 61% of the 823 tariff lines in chapter 84, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.
