Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This HTS classification covers stationary, reciprocating air compressors that are specifically designed for a high power output, exceeding 74.6 kilowatts (kW). These industrial-grade compressors are utilized in demanding applications where significant volumes of compressed air are required for continuous operation, such as large manufacturing facilities, heavy machinery, and industrial processes.

The key distinguishing factor for this category, 8414.80.16.55, lies in its power rating. It differentiates itself from preceding sibling categories by encompassing only those reciprocating compressors with a motor exceeding 74.6 kW. For example, it is distinct from the 8414.80.16.40 category, which covers compressors with power ratings between 11.19 kW and 19.4 kW, and subsequent categories that may exist for even higher power outputs. The specific threshold of 74.6 kW is a critical determinant for accurate classification.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under this code depends solely on confirming that the stationary, reciprocating air compressor meets the specified power requirement of exceeding 74.6 kW. Users should verify the manufacturer's specifications to ensure the correct power rating is identified for accurate customs declaration.
