8414.80.16.45 - Exceeding 19.4 kW but not exceeding 74.6 kW

This HTS category, 8414.80.16.45, specifically classifies stationary, reciprocating air compressors with a power output exceeding 19.4 kW but not exceeding 74.6 kW. These are robust compressors designed for continuous or heavy-duty industrial applications where significant air volume and pressure are required. Examples include units found in manufacturing plants, large automotive repair shops, and compressed air systems for industrial processes that demand substantial airflow.

This particular subcategory is distinguished from its siblings primarily by its defined power range. It occupies the segment between the lower-power industrial compressors (up to 19.4 kW) and potentially even larger or more specialized compressors that might fall under subsequent, higher power categories. The key differentiating factor is the kilowatt (kW) rating, which directly correlates to the compressor's capacity and intended industrial scale of operation.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 8414.80.16.45. Therefore, classification within this code is final based on the established criteria of being a stationary, reciprocating air compressor within the specified 19.4 kW to 74.6 kW power range. Any compressor failing to meet all these criteria, whether in type, configuration, power, or function, would be classified elsewhere.
