HS Code 8415.10 – Air conditioning machines; comprising a motor-driven fan and elements for changing the temperature and humidity, of a kind designed to be fixed to a window, wall, ceiling or floor, self-contained or split-system

HS code 8415.10 is the 6-digit subheading for air conditioning machines, comprising a motor-driven fan and elements for changing the temperature and humidity, of a kind designed to be fixed to a window, wall, ceiling or floor, self-contained or split-system. It is used for window air conditioners, wall-mounted split AC units, ceiling cassette AC units, floor-standing split AC units and multi-split systems.

What HS 8415.10 covers

This category covers self-contained or split-system air conditioning machines designed for fixed installation in windows, walls, ceilings, or floors. These units comprise a motor-driven fan and elements for changing temperature and humidity, making them ideal for residential and light commercial applications. International trade is robust, driven by urbanization, rising living standards, and climate change, particularly in regions experiencing hotter temperatures. Major importers are often countries with large populations and developing infrastructure, while exporters are typically large-scale manufacturers. The market is increasingly focused on energy-efficient models, smart home integration, and refrigerants with lower environmental impact, making them a cornerstone of the global HVAC market.

How these figures are built

109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
