Common household refrigerators are often covered under HSN 84182100 or related subheadings depending on their design. For example, combined refrigerator and freezer units used at home are classified under the specific refrigerator subheadings, while commercial deep freezers, display coolers and similar appliances use other subheadings within the same 8418 heading. ## **How Domestic and Commercial Fridges Are Classified under HSN?** Domestic fridges used in homes are generally classified under the refrigerator subheadings of 8418, which cover household type refrigerators with separate compartments or combined freezer sections. Commercial refrigerators and freezers, such as those used in restaurants, supermarkets and dairy shops, are also classified under 8418 but may use subheadings meant for commercial or large capacity equipment. The exact code depends on technical specifications and usage. ## **The HSN Code for Different Types of Refrigerators** Upright fridges, double door fridges, side by side refrigerators and deep freezers are all covered under the refrigeration machinery heading. Manufacturers usually mention the recommended HSN code in their catalogues and tax invoices. Dealers should follow the same code while selling the appliance further. If there is any doubt, it is better to refer to the tariff schedule or consult a tax professional before finalising the HSN for a new product line. ## **GST on Fridge Products** Most refrigerator products under chapter 8418 attract 18% GST. This rate applies to both domestic and commercial fridges, unless a special notification specifies a different rate for a particular category. Suppliers should clearly show the HSN code and GST rate on invoices so that buyers, especially businesses in the food, retail and hospitality sector, can claim input tax credit without any dispute. ## About the author **Apurva Maheshwari** I am a Chartered Accountant with 5 years of experience specializing in GST, income tax, and HSN code classification.
