8414.80.16.05 - Not exceeding 746 W

This HTS classification covers stationary, reciprocating air compressors with a rated power output not exceeding 746 Watts (approximately 1 horsepower). These compressors are designed for fixed installations and utilize a piston and cylinder mechanism to compress air. Examples include small-to-medium sized compressors commonly found in workshops, garages, and for specific industrial applications where lower power requirements are sufficient.

The primary distinguishing factor for this category is its specific power output range. It is differentiated from sibling categories by the threshold of 746 Watts. Sibling categories, such as 8414.80.16.15, cover compressors with higher power outputs, ranging from exceeding 746 Watts up to 4.48 kW, and subsequent categories extend to even greater power capacities. Therefore, accurate determination of the compressor's electrical input power is crucial for correct classification.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subdivisions. Classification within this code is determined solely by the type of compressor (stationary, reciprocating) and its power rating. When classifying, it is important to refer to manufacturer specifications or nameplate data to confirm the stated Wattage. Ensure that the compressor's primary function is air compression and that it is designed for stationary use, rather than portable units which may fall under different HTS classifications.
