Sub-heading 30 is for compressors of a kind used in refrigerating equipment. Sub-heading 90 is for parts of goods classifiable under Heading 8414. The benefit of the exemption therefore would be available on parts of compressors other than parts of compressors of a kind used in refrigeration equipment.2.
