Classification scope (841869)
CN code 841869 covers other refrigerating or freezing equipment not classified under preceding subheadings. This includes chillers for central HVAC and industrial processes, condensing units, cold room equipment, ice makers, water coolers, transport refrigeration units, industrial process coolers and other specialist refrigeration equipment.
Import requirements (841869)
Subject to the Union Customs Code, F-gas Regulation, Ecodesign, Machinery Regulation requiring CE, PED for pressure components and LVD/EMC. Documentation includes technical specification with refrigerant data. Duty rates should be verified in TARIC.
EU market (841869)
The market covers building HVAC (chillers), industrial (process cooling), food (cold rooms) and transport sectors. Natural refrigerants (CO2, ammonia, propane) are driven by F-gas regulations. Leading manufacturers include Carrier, Daikin, Trane, Johnson Controls, Bitzer and GEA.
Other refrigerating equipment - EU energy labels and ecodesign
CN code 8418 69 covers other refrigerating equipment. Import requires compliance with F-gas Regulation EU 517/2014, Ecodesign Directive, energy labelling requirements and LVD. Refrigeration appliances must carry EU energy labels rated at least class F. Customs clearance requires CE certificate and full technical documentation.
Frequently asked questions
What is classified under 841869?
Other refrigerating equipment: chillers, condensing units, cold room equipment, ice makers, water coolers, transport refrigeration units and process coolers.
What F-gas restrictions apply?
F-gas Regulation (EU) 2024/573 introduces phased HFC quota reductions and bans on high-GWP refrigerants. New stationary commercial equipment must use progressively lower GWP refrigerants.
Do chillers require CE marking?
Chillers placed on the EU market require CE marking under the Machinery Regulation. PED applies to pressure components. LVD and EMC apply to electrical components.
What energy labels apply to other refrigerating equipment CN 8418 69?
Other refrigerating equipment CN 8418 69 must carry EU energy labels per the delegated regulation. Energy class affects market attractiveness. The label must accompany the product at point of sale.
