Last updated: August 2026 dataUpright freezers — front-door, vertical-cabinet designs with capacity up to 900 liters — are consolidated into a single US tariff line (8418400000), so the 900-liter ceiling is the sole capacity threshold that determines heading eligibility. Thailand leads US supply under this heading, followed by China and Turkey. Unlike chest freezers, upright models typically feature multiple interior shelves and are preferred in retail and foodservice settings where frequent access is needed. Section 301 tariffs apply to Chinese-origin units, and Thailand's prominence as a supplier reflects significant appliance manufacturing investment by global brands in that country.

A unit exceeding the 900-liter threshold falls outside heading 841840 and would need to be classified elsewhere in Chapter 84. Because the boundary is precise, the manufacturer's stated net internal volume — not external dimensions — should be documented on the commercial invoice and confirmed against the product specification sheet.
Several major global appliance manufacturers have established large-scale production facilities in Thailand, partly in response to cost structures and trade-remedy exposure in other sourcing regions. This manufacturing base makes Thailand a primary origin for branded upright freezers entering the US market.
