U.S. imports of compressors for refrigerating and air-conditioning equipment (HS 841430) totaled $245.8M in July 2026, traded with 45 countries.
Importers of Compressors for Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Equipment paid $20.5M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 17% on $119.2M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataRefrigeration and air-conditioning compressors are a high-volume mechanical component classified by horsepower rating and refrigerant type across nine US tariff lines, ranging from fractional-horsepower hermetic units (8414304000) through large screw-type compressors exceeding 200 HP (8414308020) to ammonia-refrigerant compressors (8414308090). The heading is a significant target of Section 301 tariffs given China's role as a major global producer, and motor-vehicle compressors (8414308030) carry additional classification sensitivity due to their automotive supply-chain context. Mexico leads US import supply, followed by Japan and South Korea, reflecting both nearshore manufacturing and established HVAC-industry supply chains.

HTS 8414308030 specifically covers compressors for motor vehicles. If a compressor is designed and marketed for automotive use, it should be classified there regardless of whether it could theoretically serve a stationary application. Dual-use units require careful review of the manufacturer's specifications and intended application to determine the correct line.
Screw-type compressors are explicitly broken out at 8414308010 (not exceeding 200 HP) and 8414308020 (exceeding 200 HP). All other non-screw refrigeration and AC compressors — reciprocating, scroll, rotary — fall into the remaining lines organized by horsepower threshold and refrigerant type. Confirming the compressor's operating mechanism is the first classification step.
