Refrigerators; household, electric or not, other than compression-type

HS v2022 Code: 841829

About refrigerators; household, electric or not, other than compression-type

HS code 841829 covers a wide range of household refrigerators that do not use compression-type refrigeration systems. These appliances play a crucial role in the modern household, preserving perishable foods and enabling efficient food storage. The global household refrigerator market is a significant component of the broader home appliance industry, which is closely tied to economic growth and consumer spending patterns.

Production process

Household refrigerators under HS code 841829 are typically manufactured using a combination of metal fabrication, insulation materials, and specialized cooling mechanisms. The production process often involves stamping, welding, and assembly of the cabinet structure, followed by the installation of the cooling system, which may utilize thermoelectric, absorption, or other non-compression-based refrigeration technologies.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of household refrigerators under HS code 841829 include metal sheets or panels (such as steel or aluminum) for the cabinet, insulation materials (e.g., foam or fiberglass), cooling components (such as thermoelectric modules or absorption-based cooling systems), and various electronic and mechanical parts for the controls and functionality of the appliance. Additionally, the industry relies on a range of supporting components, including compressors, fans, and specialized refrigerants.

Production outputs

Household refrigerators classified under HS code 841829 are primarily consumed by the residential and commercial sectors, as they are essential appliances in homes, offices, and small businesses. The output of this industry may also be used as inputs for 940600 Refrigerators, freezers and other refrigerating or freezing equipment, electric or other; parts thereof and 732111 (Stoves and ranges (non-electric), for gas fuel or for both gas and other fuels), as these products are often integrated or used in conjunction with household refrigeration systems.
