Last updated: April 2026 dataCompressors, evaporators, condensers, thermostatic expansion valves, and other dedicated components for refrigerating and freezing equipment — whether electric or nonelectric — are consolidated under this parts heading, making it a high-volume category for aftermarket and OEM supply chains serving appliance manufacturers and cold-chain operators. Section 301 tariffs have affected imports of certain refrigeration components from China, a factor that procurement teams should evaluate when sourcing replacement parts. Correct classification requires demonstrating that the part is specifically designed for refrigerating or freezing equipment rather than being a general-purpose mechanical or electrical component.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Compressors specifically designed for refrigerating equipment are generally classified under this parts heading rather than under general compressor headings, because their design is dedicated to refrigeration applications. However, general-purpose hermetic compressors that serve multiple end uses may classify differently. Technical documentation confirming the compressor's design purpose is essential for a defensible classification.
Section 301 tariffs apply to a broad range of refrigeration components imported from China, prompting many importers to evaluate alternative sourcing from countries not subject to those measures. Importers should review the specific HTS subheadings applicable to their parts and consult a licensed customs broker to assess current Section 301 exposure and any applicable exclusions.
