HS Code 8418.99 – Refrigerating or freezing equipment; parts thereof, other than furniture

HS code 8418.99 is the 6-digit subheading for refrigerating or freezing equipment, parts thereof, other than furniture. It is used for compressors, condensers, evaporators, thermostats and refrigerant valves.

What HS 8418.99 covers

This "other parts" category for refrigerating or freezing equipment covers all components not specifically classified elsewhere in heading 8418, and explicitly excludes the furniture designed to receive such equipment (which is 841891). This includes a vast array of internal mechanical, electrical, and electronic parts essential for the function of refrigerators, freezers, and other cooling apparatus. Examples range from compressors, condensers, evaporators, and thermostats to fans, control boards, and seals. International trade in these parts is fundamental to the global refrigeration industry's supply chain, supporting both original equipment manufacturing (OEM) and the aftermarket for repairs and maintenance. Exporters are often specialized component manufacturers, while importers include appliance assemblers, service providers, and distributors. Key trade considerations involve technical specifications, quality control, compatibility with various models, and adherence to environmental regulations concerning refrigerants and materials.

Codes often confused with 8418.99

Common mistake. This code is often confused with 841891 if the part is a structural component that could be considered "furniture-like" but isn't explicitly designed to *receive* the equipment. It's also sometimes mistaken for parts of other machinery (e.g., 8414 for fans or 8537 for control panels) if their specific use in refrigeration is not clearly identified.

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).
