8501.64.01.35 - Exceeding 10,000 kVA but not exceeding 40,000 kVA

This HTS category, 8501.64.01.35, specifically classifies AC generators, also known as alternators, that are designed to produce an electrical output exceeding 750 kVA. The defining characteristic of goods falling under this heading is their power generation capacity, which must be within the defined range of greater than 10,000 kVA but not exceeding 40,000 kVA. These are typically large-scale generators used in industrial applications, power plants, and other settings where significant electrical power is required.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 8501.64.01.25, is crucial for accurate classification. While both are AC generators with an output exceeding 750 kVA, the primary differentiator is the specific power output range. Goods classified under 8501.64.01.25 will have an output that is greater than 750 kVA but does not exceed 10,000 kVA. The category 8501.64.01.55 represents "Other" AC generators within the "Of an output exceeding 750 kVA" group, which would encompass any generators not specifically defined by the kVA ranges in 8501.64.01.25 or 8501.64.01.35.

As a leaf node within the HTS structure, this category does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification decisions at this level hinge directly on the precise kVA output of the AC generator. Importers and exporters should carefully verify the rated power output of the machinery to ensure correct classification between the specified kVA bands. Examples of machinery falling here might include large synchronous generators used in hydroelectric dams or industrial power generation facilities.
