8414.80.16.70 - 22.38 kW and over but not exceeding 74.6 kW

This classification specifically covers stationary rotary air compressors with a power output greater than or equal to 22.38 kilowatts (kW) and not exceeding 74.6 kW. These compressors are designed for fixed installations and utilize rotary mechanisms for compressing air or other gases. Examples include industrial-grade screw compressors or vane compressors within this specified power range, commonly found in manufacturing plants, workshops, and other commercial settings where consistent compressed air supply is required.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, note that 8414.80.16.60 and 8414.80.16.65 cover compressors with lower power outputs, while 8414.80.16.75 encompasses those with significantly higher power ratings. The precise kilowatt (kW) output is the defining criterion for differentiating between these stationary rotary air compressor categories at this level.

As this classification represents a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification is determined solely by the product's nature as a stationary rotary air compressor and its power output falling within the specified range of 22.38 kW to 74.6 kW. Importers and exporters should ensure that all relevant technical specifications, particularly the continuous power rating, are accurately documented to ensure correct classification.
