HS v2022 Code: 841430

About compressors; of a kind used in refrigerating equipment

HS code 841430 covers compressors used in refrigerating equipment, a critical component in the global cold chain industry. These compressors play a vital role in maintaining the temperature and preserving the quality of perishable goods, from food and pharmaceuticals to industrial products. As international trade and the demand for refrigerated transportation continue to grow, the 841430 compressor industry has become an essential part of the broader import/export ecosystem.

Production process

Compressors used in refrigerating equipment are typically manufactured through a multi-step process. This involves the assembly of various components, including the compressor mechanism, motor, and housing. The compressor mechanism, often a reciprocating or rotary design, is responsible for drawing in refrigerant gas, compressing it, and then discharging the high-pressure gas. Specialized machinery and precision engineering are required to ensure the compressors meet performance and efficiency standards.

Production inputs

The production of HS code 841430 compressors relies on a range of inputs, including metals (such as steel and aluminum) for the housing and components, as well as specialized lubricants, coolants, and electrical components. Manufacturers also require access to advanced manufacturing equipment, such as CNC machines, welding tools, and testing facilities, to ensure the quality and reliability of the final product.

Production outputs

Compressors classified under HS code 841430 are primarily used in refrigerating equipment, such as commercial and industrial refrigerators, air conditioning units, and cold storage facilities. These compressors are essential components that enable the 842010 Refrigerating or freezing equipment and 841510 Air conditioning machines industries to function effectively. The output of the 841430 compressor industry is a critical input for a wide range of other economic activities that rely on the cold chain.
