HS v2022 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 various industries, including food processing, retail, and commercial kitchens. The global market for upright freezers has been growing steadily, driven by factors such as the increasing demand for frozen food, the rise of e-commerce, and the need for efficient storage solutions in the food service sector.

Production process

Upright freezers are typically manufactured using a combination of metal, plastic, and insulation materials. The production process involves several key steps, including cabinet assembly, installation of the cooling system (compressor, condenser, and evaporator), and the addition of control panels and other features. Manufacturers may also incorporate energy-efficient technologies, such as LED lighting and advanced insulation, to improve the freezer's performance and reduce operating costs.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of upright freezers include steel or aluminum for the cabinet, plastic components for the interior and exterior, and various electrical and mechanical parts such as compressors, fans, and control systems. Manufacturers also rely on specialized machinery and equipment, such as welding machines, injection molding machines, and assembly lines, to ensure efficient and high-quality production.

Production outputs

Upright freezers produced under HS code 841840 are primarily used in commercial and industrial settings, such as grocery stores, restaurants, and food processing facilities. These freezers may also be consumed by 842112 Refrigerators, household type and 842119 Refrigerators, other, as they are often integrated into larger refrigeration systems. Additionally, the output of this industry may be used by 850710 Electric accumulators, lead-acid, for starting piston engines and 850720 Electric accumulators, lead-acid, other than for starting piston engines, as freezers require reliable power sources and battery systems.
