8406.82.10.20 - Exceeding 7,460 kW

This HTS classification covers stationary steam turbines of the condensing type that have an output exceeding 7,460 kW. These are powerful engines designed to convert thermal energy from steam into mechanical work, typically used in large-scale industrial power generation. The condensing type implies that the steam is exhausted into a condenser, where it is converted back into water, thereby increasing the overall efficiency of the turbine by lowering the backpressure.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 8406.82.10.10, solely by the power output. While both are stationary, condensing steam turbines, this specific subcategory applies to units with a greater than 7,460 kW capacity, indicating a significant scale of operation and application. This distinction is crucial for accurate duty assessment and trade statistics, as it often correlates with different market segments and levels of technological sophistication.

As a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions under this code. Therefore, classification into 8406.82.10.20 hinges directly on the confirmation of the turbine's stationary, condensing, and steam-driven characteristics, coupled with its power output exceeding the specified 7,460 kW threshold. Examples of applications would include those found in major power plants, large manufacturing facilities, or industrial complexes requiring substantial and continuous power generation.
