You submitted literature on the following compact modular refrigeration units for catering and vending service trucks: C- 500, 710, 715, 910, 915, 920 and 940 Plus. All these units are capable of maintaining the cargo holds of smaller catering and vending trucks at a refrigeration temperature of 35 F. or a freezing one of 0 F. All these models include an evaporator, condenser and a standby compressor; some also include a transit compressor. On some models, such as the C-500, all the components have separate housings. On others, such as the 910, the evaporator, compressor and standby compressor share a common housing. The applicable subheading for the seven above-listed truck refrigeration systems will be 8418.69.0095, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other refrigerating or freezing equipment: other.
