Dehumidifiers for domestic and commercial use are classified under 8479.89 as machines not elsewhere specified in Chapter 84. Some customs authorities classify dehumidifiers under 8415.10 (air conditioning machines) — classification disputes exist, particularly for large-capacity units. The desiccant-based dehumidifier operates differently from the compressor-based type but is classified under the same heading. Dehumidifiers with a built-in air purifier are classified by essential character — if dehumidification is primary, 8479.89. Water collection capacity (liters/day) does not affect the HS code.
