8501.72.30.00 - Of an output exceeding 75 kW but not exceeding 375 kW

This HTS classification, 8501.72.30.00, specifically designates photovoltaic DC generators with an electrical output that falls within a defined intermediate range. These are devices designed to convert solar energy directly into direct current electricity, and this sub-heading covers those with a power output exceeding 75 kilowatts (kW) but not exceeding 375 kilowatts (kW). This precise range ensures that generators of significantly lower or higher capacities are classified under different subheadings, maintaining granular accuracy in customs declarations.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. Unlike subheadings 8501.72.10.00 (output not exceeding 750 W) and 8501.72.20.00 (output exceeding 750 W but not exceeding 75 kW), this category captures a substantial power output range relevant for larger-scale solar installations. Furthermore, it differs from 8501.72.90.00 ("Other"), which would encompass photovoltaic DC generators whose power outputs do not fit the specified ranges of the other subheadings. The key differentiator here is the specific output power threshold of 75 kW to 375 kW.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under 8501.72.30.00 is final based on the product meeting the criteria of being a photovoltaic DC generator with an output between 75 kW and 375 kW. Importers and exporters should ensure that the rated power output of their photovoltaic DC generators is accurately documented and verified to align with this specific classification.
