Air conditioners take heading 8415 of the US tariff, and refrigerators and freezers take 8418. Their ordinary rates are low: window or wall units that are self-contained on 8415.10.30 print Free, and combined refrigerator-freezers on 8418.10 print Free. All show List 3: +25% for Chinese goods. Appliances are a clear example of Section 232’s reach beyond raw metal. Those two lines fall in our metals group B at +25%, and some 8415 lines are in group C, brought to a total of 15%. Goods under the program leave the 60-economy duty. Thus, $10,000 of those air conditioners from Thailand comes to $1,250 (12.5%) without the program, or to the metals duty if you select it, provided the metal reaches 15 percent of the weight. Rates are from 2026 HTS Revision 22, read on November 2, 2026.

Metal weight in practice
The 15 percent test looks at weight. Ask the factory for a weight breakdown by material. For a group C line such as 8415.10.60, which prints 1%, the duty rises only enough to reach 15% in total, as the tool shows.
| Origin | Duty on $10,000 | Share of value |
|---|---|---|
| Thailand | $1,250 | 12.5% |
| South Korea | $1,250 | 12.5% |
| Mexico | $1,000 | 10% |
| China | $3,750 | 37.5% |
| Vietnam | $1,250 | 12.5% |
| European Union | $1,000 | 10% |
| Any other country | $0 | 0% |
Those figures are shown without the metals program, as that choice is yours. Mexican goods that qualify under USMCA also change the result.
