HTS heading 8415 is a four-digit product category for air-conditioning machines that combine a motor-driven fan with components that change air temperature and humidity. It can include equipment where humidity is not controlled separately, as well as certain parts. The heading is about the machine’s function and design, not simply whether a product is marketed as an “air conditioner.”
To reach the correct eight-digit HTSUS code, first identify the relevant six-digit subheading and then review the additional U.S. subdivisions. Those subdivisions commonly distinguish the equipment by type, configuration, capacity, installation arrangement, or other product characteristics—not just by material. Parts may follow separate provisions from complete machines. The final classification depends on the product’s objective features, technical documentation, and the wording of the applicable tariff provisions and notes.
What to check
- Confirm that the product has both a motor-driven fan and elements that change temperature and qualifies as an air-conditioning machine under the heading’s terms.
- Identify the machine type and configuration, such as whether it is a complete unit, an indoor or outdoor component, or another specified arrangement; do not rely only on the product name.
- Check the applicable six-digit subheading first, then read every eight-digit subdivision and its descriptions for required technical characteristics.
- For parts, determine whether the item is specifically described in a parts provision and whether it is suitable for use principally or solely with the relevant equipment.
- Use product specifications, engineering drawings, manuals, and photographs to verify the classification; consult a customs broker or request a binding ruling if the wording or product design is unclear.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
