Overview
This HTS category, 8414.80.20.55, specifically classifies "Other compressors" that are not reciprocating or rotary, and have a power output not exceeding 186.5 kW. This designation encompasses a range of compressor types beyond the commonly recognized reciprocating and rotary designs, focusing on their operational capacity as a primary distinguishing feature. These units are typically employed for compressing air or other gases in various industrial and commercial applications where moderate power requirements are met.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. The key differentiator lies in the rated power output. 8414.80.20.55 applies to compressors with a maximum power of 186.5 kW. In contrast, sibling categories 8414.80.20.65 and 8414.80.20.75 cover compressors with significantly higher power ratings, exceeding 186.5 kW, up to 746 kW and above 746 kW respectively. Therefore, the precise measurement of the compressor's motor power is the definitive factor in selecting the correct sub-classification.
As this node is a leaf category within the HTS structure, it does not have further subcategories. Classification under 8414.80.20.55 is final for compressors that are not reciprocating or rotary and fall within the specified power limit. Examples of compressors that might be classified here include certain types of centrifugal compressors or screw compressors designed for lower-duty applications, where their specific operational characteristics and power draw align with this code.
