Last updated: August 2026 dataReciprocating and rotary stationary air compressors dominate the tariff architecture of this heading, with power-band breakpoints ranging from sub-74.6 W units up through machines exceeding 74.6 kW — each band carrying its own 10-digit line. Portable compressors, centrifugal and axial compressors, refrigerant-recovery compressors, and air or vacuum pumps not elsewhere specified round out the coverage. Mexico and Canada are the leading US import sources, a supply pattern consistent with integrated North American manufacturing for industrial and HVAC applications. Importers classifying compressors must carefully match the unit's rated power output and mechanical type (reciprocating, rotary, centrifugal/axial) to the correct line, as misclassification across power bands is a common audit finding.

The rated power output in kilowatts is the primary classification variable, as the schedule subdivides stationary reciprocating compressors across multiple power-band lines. Importers should obtain the manufacturer's nameplate data or technical datasheet confirming rated motor power, and retain that documentation in the entry file. The distinction between reciprocating and rotary design is equally critical, as those two types are separated throughout the heading.
Yes. Line 8414802005 specifically covers compressors for refrigerant recovery units, carving them out from the broader compressor categories. If a compressor is purpose-built and marketed for refrigerant recovery service, that dedicated line should be considered before defaulting to the residual NESOI provisions.
