Overview
This HTS category, 8414.80.16.35, specifically classifies stationary, reciprocating air compressors with a power output exceeding 8.21 kW but not exceeding 11.19 kW. These compressors are designed for continuous operation in industrial or commercial settings and are distinguished from other reciprocating air compressors by their precise power rating. This specific range signifies a substantial capacity suitable for applications requiring moderate to high air volume and pressure.
The classification distinguishes this category from its siblings based solely on horsepower thresholds. For instance, sibling categories cover compressors with lower power ratings, such as those not exceeding 746 W (0.5 HP) or exceeding 746 W but not exceeding 4.48 kW, and those exceeding 4.48 kW but not exceeding 8.21 kW. Conversely, categories 8414.80.16.40 and above cover compressors with higher power outputs. The criteria for classification rests entirely on the stated power consumption or output of the compressor unit, as indicated by its motor.
As a leaf node within the HTS, 8414.80.16.35 does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, the classification of a reciprocating air compressor under this code is definitive once its stationary nature, reciprocating mechanism, and power rating falling within the specified 8.21 kW to 11.19 kW range are confirmed. Importers should ensure the correct power rating is readily available and verifiable from the equipment's specifications or nameplate.
