HS v2017 Code: 841840

About freezers; of the upright type, not exceeding 900l capacity

hs code 841840 covers the import and export of upright freezers with a capacity not exceeding 900 liters. This type of freezer is a critical piece of equipment for a wide range of industries, from food and beverage production to medical and pharmaceutical storage. The global market for upright freezers is expected to grow steadily in the coming years, driven by factors such as increasing demand for frozen foods, the need for reliable cold storage solutions, and the ongoing technological advancements in freezer design and efficiency.

Production process

Upright freezers covered under hs code 841840 are typically manufactured using a combination of metal, plastic, and insulation materials. The production process often involves stamping, welding, and assembly techniques to create the main cabinet structure. Refrigeration components, such as compressors and evaporators, are then installed, and the unit is tested for temperature control, energy efficiency, and overall functionality. Many manufacturers also incorporate advanced features like digital controls, automatic defrost, and energy-saving modes to meet the evolving needs of consumers and commercial users.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of upright freezers under hs code 841840 include steel or other metal sheets for the cabinet, plastic components for the interior and exterior, insulation materials (such as foam or fiberglass), refrigeration components (compressors, evaporators, and coolants), and various electronic and mechanical parts for the control systems and features. Manufacturers also rely on specialized machinery and equipment, such as stamping presses, welding stations, and assembly lines, to efficiently produce these freezers.

Production outputs

Upright freezers covered under hs code 841840 are primarily used for the storage and preservation of frozen foods, pharmaceuticals, and other temperature-sensitive products. These freezers are commonly found in commercial and industrial settings, such as grocery stores, restaurants, hospitals, and research laboratories. The output of this industry may also be consumed by 851650 Refrigerators, freezers and other refrigerating or freezing equipment and 842211 Dish washing machines; of the household type.
