Overview
This HTS category, 8414.80.20.65, specifically classifies **other compressors** that are not reciprocating or rotary in type, and which have a power output exceeding 186.5 kW but not exceeding 746 kW. This definition encompasses a range of centrifugal and axial compressors, and potentially other less common compressor designs, that fall within this defined power range. These machines are used to increase the pressure of gases and are critical components in numerous industrial processes, including refrigeration, air separation, and various chemical manufacturing operations.
The key differentiator for this category lies in the power rating and the specific type of compressor. Sibling categories differentiate based on power: 8414.80.20.55 covers compressors with a power output not exceeding 186.5 kW, while 8414.80.20.75 addresses those exceeding 746 kW. This node, therefore, captures a significant mid-range of powerful industrial compressors not falling into the lower or higher power brackets. The exclusion of reciprocating and rotary types also directs classification towards machines that utilize different principles of gas compression.
As this HTS code represents a leaf node within the tariff schedule, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Consequently, precise classification into this specific code relies solely on meeting the criteria of being an "other compressor" (excluding reciprocating and rotary types) and falling within the specified power range of exceeding 186.5 kW but not exceeding 746 kW. Importers and exporters must ensure accurate measurement and reporting of the compressor's rated power output to correctly classify these goods.
