Last updated: August 2026 dataCabinetry and structural enclosures purpose-built to house refrigerating or freezing machinery — such as built-in refrigerator surrounds, undercounter cabinet shells, and modular cold-room framing — enter under a single US tariff line (8418910000). Mexico leads supply under this heading, followed by China and Canada. The critical classification question is whether the furniture is genuinely designed to receive refrigerating equipment (heading 841891) or is general-purpose cabinetry that happens to be used with such equipment, which would fall under furniture headings in Chapter 94. Importers should retain design specifications and product literature demonstrating the purpose-built nature of the enclosure.

Heading 841891 requires that the furniture be specifically designed to receive refrigerating or freezing equipment — meaning it is engineered with features such as ventilation cutouts, mounting provisions, or dimensional tolerances matched to a specific appliance. General kitchen cabinets or panels that merely surround a refrigerator without such purpose-built features are more likely to be classified as furniture under Chapter 94.
No. The furniture and the refrigerating equipment are classified and imported separately under their respective HTS provisions. Each article is assessed independently for origin, duty, and admissibility. However, if the furniture and equipment are imported together as a set, a customs broker should evaluate whether the set rule under GRI 3 applies.
