Overview
This HTS subheading covers fans specifically designed and utilized for the principal purpose of cooling critical electronic components. This includes fans intended for microprocessors, telecommunications equipment such as routers and base stations, and automatic data processing machines like computers and servers, as well as their individual units. The defining characteristic is the intended application in preventing overheating of these high-performance electronic devices.
Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 8414.59.10.00, is crucial. The sibling subheading specifically enumerates "Blowers for pipe organs." Therefore, 8414.59.15.00 is reserved for cooling fans within the electronic and data processing sectors, excluding any fans used for musical instruments.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. Classification within this subheading relies on the fan's direct application for cooling microprocessors, telecommunications apparatus, or automatic data processing machines. The physical characteristics, such as size and airflow capacity, are secondary to the intended end-use in determining classification under this specific code.
