HTS code for dehumidifier: classify the moisture-removal appliance
Planning Use only. Broker review required for Entry Use.
A dehumidifier may be a compressor unit, desiccant unit, small thermoelectric appliance, commercial dryer, bathroom dehumidifier, RV unit, replacement water tank, filter, drain hose, or humidity-control part. The invoice word does not say which one is in the carton.
Use this page to prepare the Planning Use record before broker review. The record should show the moisture-removal method, electrical rating, tank or drain setup, and imported condition.
quick answer
For "hts code for dehumidifier", collect dehumidifier type, capacity, compressor or desiccant status, wattage, voltage, tank size, drain hose, fan, humidistat, filter, refrigerant if any, accessories, origin, and supplier code.
A compressor dehumidifier is not the same fact pattern as a small Peltier dehumidifier or a desiccant cartridge. A replacement tank or drain hose should not be treated like a complete appliance.
facts to collect for a dehumidifier
Collect:
- Product name, invoice wording, SKU, and product page.
- Photos of appliance, rating label, tank, filter, drain port, plug, packaging, and accessories.
- Type: compressor, desiccant, thermoelectric, commercial, mini, part, or accessory.
- Daily moisture-removal capacity, tank volume, voltage, wattage, and refrigerant if applicable.
- Fan, humidistat, pump, drain hose, filter, timer, display, app control, or auto-defrost features.
- Included hose, filter, remote, adapter, replacement tank, caster, or mounting parts.
- Whether the shipment is a complete unit, tank, hose, filter, cartridge, or part.
- Country of origin and production support.
- Supplier HS or HTS code and support notes.
If the product uses refrigerant, attach the rating label and spec sheet. If it is desiccant-based, collect the cartridge or material details.
missing facts
Mark the file incomplete when:
- Moisture-removal method is unclear.
- Capacity, wattage, voltage, or tank size is missing.
- Compressor, desiccant, refrigerant, or thermoelectric facts are not documented.
- Hose, pump, filter, or accessories are not listed.
- The goods may be replacement parts rather than a complete dehumidifier.
- Origin is assumed.
- Supplier code is unsupported.
- CBP CROSS has not been checked for close appliance and air-treatment rulings.
These gaps can move the review between household appliance, refrigeration-related product, desiccant item, part, or accessory.
HTS candidate notes
Build candidate rows for the actual imported article: compressor dehumidifier, desiccant dehumidifier, thermoelectric mini unit, commercial unit, water tank, filter, drain hose, cartridge, or kit. Each row should cite a product fact.
If the unit has a compressor, keep refrigerant and capacity facts in the record. If the item is passive desiccant, do not treat it like a powered appliance without support.
authority sources
Use USITC HTS for tariff text. Use CBP CROSS for dehumidifiers, air-treatment appliances, refrigeration equipment, filters, tanks, hoses, and parts.
planning path
Start with the rating label and the moisture-removal method. Then add capacity, tank, hose, filter, accessory list, origin, and supplier code. The first review question is whether the product is a complete powered appliance.
Duty stack notes should include origin and the proposed HTS family. If final assembly and compressor sourcing happen in different countries, record both facts.

questions importers ask
Can I use this page as the HTS code for a dehumidifier?
No. Use it for Planning Use. Entry Use needs broker or customs authority review.

What if the shipment is only a tank or filter?
Treat it as a part or accessory review, not a complete appliance.

planning boundary
This dehumidifier HTS page is a planning artifact. It is not an Entry Use classification, not a binding ruling, and not a legal opinion. The importer remains responsible for reasonable care and must obtain broker or customs authority review before filing.
