HS Code for Range hood
A range hood is classified under HS code 8414.60, which specifically covers hoods incorporating a fan, whether or not fitted with filters, provided they have a maximum horizontal side not exceeding 120 cm. This classification is part of heading 8414, which encompasses air pumps, vacuum pumps, and air or gas compressors and fans. The range hood is defined by its mechanical function: the extraction or recirculation of air, typically in a kitchen environment, to remove steam, grease, and odors. The 120 cm limit is a critical threshold; it distinguishes domestic or light commercial hoods from larger industrial extraction systems. The presence of auxiliary components such as grease filters, charcoal filters, or integrated LED lighting does not change the classification, as the primary function remains air displacement via an internal motor and fan assembly. These units may be ducted (ventilating) or ductless (recycling). The classification is based on the General Rules for the Interpretation of the Harmonized System (GRI) 1 and 6, focusing on the description of the machinery and its dimensions.

Common Misclassification
The most frequent misclassification is HS code 8414.80, which is used for hoods that exceed the 120 cm horizontal side limit. These are typically industrial-grade equipment. Another error is attempting to classify them under 7321 (stoves and ranges) because they are used together; however, the range hood is a separate mechanical appliance and must be classified in Chapter 84.
