8418.29.10.00/Electrical Absorption Household Refrigerator/China

Electrical Absorption Household Refrigerator from China

A compact household refrigerator utilizing electrical absorption technology for cooling, typically employing ammonia-water or lithium bromide cycles powered by electricity rather than a compressor. It falls under HTS 8418.29.10.00 as it is an electric absorption-type refrigerator designed for household use, distinct from compression-based models. These units are valued for quiet operation and suitability in off-grid or RV applications.

Import Tips

• Verify ENERGY STAR or equivalent efficiency ratings and include test reports to meet U.S. energy standards under 10 CFR Part 430

• Provide detailed technical specs confirming absorption cycle (e.g

• ammonia-based) and electrical input to avoid misclassification as vapor compression units

• Ensure labeling complies with FTC appliance labeling rules; common pitfall is incomplete refrigerant cycle documentation leading to CBP holds
