8501.62.01.00 - Of an output exceeding 75 kVA but not exceeding 375 kVA

This HTS category, 8501.62.01.00, specifically classifies AC generators, also known as alternators, that fall within a defined power output range. Goods classified here are electrical machines designed to convert mechanical energy into alternating current electrical energy, excluding photovoltaic generators. The key distinguishing feature for classification within this specific code is their rated output capacity: they must generate more than 75 kVA (kilovolt-amperes) but not exceed 375 kVA.

This category is distinct from its sibling categories based solely on this output threshold. For instance, generators with an output not exceeding 75 kVA are classified under 8501.61.01.00, while those exceeding 375 kVA but not 750 kVA fall under 8501.63.01.00. Similarly, generators with outputs exceeding 750 kVA are found in the 8501.64.01 category. This granular division ensures precise classification based on the generator's power generation capability, which is a critical factor for import/export regulations and duties.

As this classification represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, practical classification within 8501.62.01.00 relies on accurately determining the stated or tested output rating of the AC generator. Exporters and importers must consult technical specifications or nameplate data to confirm that the generator's kVA output falls squarely within the specified range of greater than 75 kVA and up to and including 375 kVA.
