Last updated: April 2026 dataHousehold deep-freezers—chest and upright designs, electric or otherwise—are classified separately from refrigerators because their entire storage volume is maintained at sub-zero temperatures for long-term food preservation. DOE mandatory energy conservation standards apply to this product category, and compliance testing must be conducted under prescribed DOE test procedures before a model can be legally sold in the US. Chest freezers and upright freezers are treated within the same heading but may face different energy standard thresholds based on volume and configuration. Section 301 tariff exposure varies by country of manufacture, making supply-chain origin documentation a routine compliance task for importers.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Compact freezer units designed for household use and maintaining sub-zero storage temperatures throughout their volume generally fall under this heading regardless of size, provided their primary function is deep-freezing rather than refrigeration. However, small combination units with both a refrigerator and freezer section are typically classified under the household refrigerator heading based on principal function. A binding ruling from CBP is advisable for borderline cases.
Importers (or the US brand owner) must certify that each covered freezer model meets DOE energy conservation standards, submit certification reports to DOE's Compliance Certification Management System (CCMS), and ensure testing was conducted under the applicable DOE test procedure (10 CFR Part 430). Models that fail to meet the standard cannot be imported for sale; DOE can seek civil penalties for non-compliant products already in commerce.
