HS Code 84151060: Window or Wall Type Air Conditioning Machines

Window or wall type air conditioning machines, "split-system", incorporating a refrigerating unit and valve for the reversal of cooling/heat cycle fall under the HS Code 84151060. This code is used to classify these specific types of air conditioning machines for import-export purposes.

The product description indicates that these air conditioning machines are designed to be installed either on a window or a wall. They are known as "split-system" air conditioners, which means they consist of two separate units - an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. The indoor unit is typically mounted inside the room, while the outdoor unit is installed outside the building.

These air conditioning machines are equipped with a refrigerating unit and a valve that allows for the reversal of the cooling and heating cycle. This means that they can provide both cooling and heating functions, making them suitable for use in different climates.
