8414.80.16.15 - Exceeding 746 W but not exceeding 4.48 kW

This HTS classification covers stationary, reciprocating air compressors that fall within a specific power range. Specifically, these compressors are designed for applications where the power output exceeds 746 Watts (approximately 1 horsepower) but does not exceed 4.48 kilowatts (approximately 6 horsepower). This power threshold is a critical determinant for classifying these machines, distinguishing them from smaller or larger capacity compressors.

The primary differentiator for this category lies in its power rating. Compared to sibling categories such as 8414.80.16.05, which covers compressors not exceeding 746 W, this category encompasses compressors with a more substantial power output. Conversely, it excludes compressors with higher power ratings, such as those exceeding 4.48 kW but not exceeding 8.21 kW (8414.80.16.25) and subsequent higher wattage brackets.

As a leaf node in the HTS classification, 8414.80.16.15 represents a specific and final level of detail for these types of air compressors. Therefore, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification within this code relies strictly on the stated power range and the preceding hierarchical classifications: stationary, reciprocating air compressors. Importers and exporters should ensure the specified power rating of their goods precisely aligns with the "exceeding 746 W but not exceeding 4.48 kW" criteria to ensure accurate reporting.
