Headings: 8414
Product description
The article in question is described as a “Dehumid” used in households, and other enclosed spaces, to reduce humidity, remove odors, filter out dirt and dust, and circulate clean, dry air. Descriptive literature was submitted. The “Dehumid” is essentially a form of fan with filters housed within a ducted enclosure. The Dehumid operates by absorption of humidity by warmer dryer air passing through and over cooler damp areas within a closed structure. The Dehumid fan draws humid air from an enclosed space and discharges it by means of a flexible duct and louver to the atmosphere. The constant flow of fresh air created by the fan enables the Dehumid to remove stale, humid air and replace it with clean, dry air.
CBP rationale
The applicable subheading for the Dehumid will be 8414.59.6095, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for other fans.
