8406.82.10.50 - Not exceeding 7,460 kW

This HTS code, 8406.82.10.50, specifically classifies steam turbines that are designed for an output not exceeding 7,460 kilowatts (kW). These turbines are a type of vapor turbine that utilize steam as the working fluid to generate mechanical power. Their primary function is to convert thermal energy from steam into rotational energy, often used to drive generators for electricity production or other machinery in industrial settings.

The key distinguishing feature of this category, compared to its sibling 8406.82.10.70, lies in the specified power output limitation. While both are steam turbines with an overall output not exceeding 40 MW, this subcategory is for those with a maximum output of 7,460 kW. Any steam turbine exceeding this specific threshold would fall under the sibling category.

As a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no further subdivisions under 8406.82.10.50. Therefore, classification within this code relies solely on the determination that the steam turbine's output capacity is equal to or less than 7,460 kW, and that it falls within the broader scope of steam turbines with an output not exceeding 40 MW. This precise delimitation ensures accurate tariff application for a range of smaller to medium-sized steam turbine applications.
