Analysis
Subheading 8418.29 covers other, within heading 8418. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 2 US tariff lines below it are national.
None of its 2 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 1% to 1.9% with a median of 1.45%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
The US splits it as follows: 8418.29.10 for absorption type, electrical (1%) and 8418.29.20 for other: other (1.9%).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Major Household Appliance Manufacturing (335220). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
Goods only reach 8418.29 once they fall within heading 8418 (refrigerators, freezers and other refrigerating or freezing equipment, electric or other…). Under General Rule 6, subheadings are then compared only with others at the same level, so a product is matched against its siblings, not against lines elsewhere in the chapter.
