Six-digit codes under heading 8415
| HS Code | Import–export description |
|---|---|
| 841510 | Air conditioning machines; comprising a motor-driven fan and elements for changing the temperature and humidity, of a kind designed to be fixed to a window, wall, ceiling or floor, self-contained or split-system |
| 841520 | Air conditioning machines; comprising a motor driven fan and elements for changing the temperature and humidity, of a kind used for persons, in motor vehicles |
| 841581 | Air conditioning machines; containing a motor driven fan, other than window or wall types, incorporating a refrigerating unit and a valve for reversal of the cooling/heat cycle (reversible heat pumps) |
| 841582 | Air conditioning machines; containing a motor driven fan, other than window or wall types, incorporating a refrigerating unit |
| 841583 | Air conditioning machines; containing a motor driven fan, other than window or wall types, not incorporating a refrigerating unit |
| 841590 | Air conditioning machines; with motor driven fan and elements for temperature control, parts thereof |
What HS code 8415 covers
Think of a machine that pushes air through a fan and also cools, heats or dries it. That machine belongs in heading 8415. The unit does not need a separate humidity control. If it cannot set humidity on its own, it still counts.
Traders search for this heading in many ways. You may see it called the air conditioner HS code or the HSN code 8415. It is part of Chapter 84 machinery. Under it, each subheading covers one kind of unit, and the last one covers parts.
How to choose the right 8415 code: split AC, car AC, heat pumps and parts
Start with where the machine is used. Then look at how it is built. Work through these questions in order and stop at the first match.
The wording of each subheading is fixed. Always check your product against the full text in the table above before you file.
- Is it self-contained or a split system? Use 841510. This is the answer to "what is the HS code for split AC".
- Is it motor vehicle air conditioning, made for people riding in a vehicle? Use 841520.
- Is it some other type with a refrigerating unit and a valve that reverses the cooling and heating cycle? That is a reversible heat pump. Use 841581.
- Is it some other type with a refrigerating unit, but no reversing valve? Use 841582.
- Use 841583.
- Is it a part of an air conditioning machine, not a whole unit? Use 841590. This is where air conditioner parts go.
8415 vs related headings
Some goods look close to air conditioners but sit in other headings. Mixing them up leads to wrong declarations.
Heading 8418 covers refrigerators, freezers and other refrigerating or freezing equipment. It also covers heat pumps, but only those that are not air conditioning machines of heading 8415. So a reversible heat pump built as an air conditioner goes to 841581, while other heat pumps go to 8418.
Heading 8414 covers air and vacuum pumps, compressors and fans. It also lists ventilating hoods with a fan built in. A fan on its own is not an air conditioning machine, because it has no elements to change temperature and humidity.
Heading 8419 is for non-domestic machinery and lab equipment that treats materials with a change of temperature. Heading 8421 covers filtering and purifying machinery for liquids or gases. If you are unsure, try the HS code classifier.
Who imports air conditioners under HS code 8415?
Classification tells you the code. It does not tell you who is buying or selling. For that, you need shipment records.
EximDataX shows shipment-level import and export records from official customs sources. Coverage: 43 direct customs feeds plus 184 mirror-derived countries. Named buyers and named suppliers are available in 38 of the 43 direct markets. Most markets refresh weekly and some refresh daily.
