Speed Queen Coin-Operated Commercial Washer from Japan

A heavy-duty laundry-type washing machine with a dry linen capacity exceeding 10 kg, designed for self-service laundromats and featuring coin-operated controls for public use. It falls under HTS 8450.20.00.10 due to its large capacity and coin-operated mechanism, distinguishing it from household models under 10 kg. This classification applies specifically to machines built for high-volume, commercial coin-operated environments.

Import Tips

Verify dry linen capacity exceeds 10 kg with manufacturer specs to confirm classification under 8450.20; smaller units shift to 8450.11/8450.12

Include coin mechanism documentation and ensure compliance with energy efficiency standards like ENERGY STAR for U.S. imports

Avoid misclassification as household by providing evidence of commercial installation intent; common pitfall is lacking capacity certification
