8501.80.20.00 - Of an output exceeding 75 kVA but not exceeding 375 kVA

This HTS category, 8501.80.20.00, specifically classifies photovoltaic AC generators where the power output falls within a defined range: exceeding 75 kVA but not exceeding 375 kVA. These are electrical machines designed to convert direct current (DC) generated by solar panels into alternating current (AC), operating within this intermediate power capacity. This classification is crucial for accurately determining import duties and regulatory requirements for these specific solar power conversion units.

The primary distinction of this category lies in its precise power output specification. It is differentiated from sibling categories by its middle-tier capacity. Subcategory 8501.80.10.00 covers photovoltaic AC generators with a lower output (not exceeding 75 kVA), while 8501.80.30.00 addresses those with a higher output range (exceeding 375 kVA but not exceeding 750 kVA). The "Other" category, 8501.80.90.00, serves as a catch-all for units that do not fit the defined kVA ranges of the other sub-classifications.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories branching from 8501.80.20.00. Therefore, the classification is final at this level, relying solely on the output capacity of the photovoltaic AC generator. Importers and exporters must accurately measure and document the kVA output to ensure correct classification and compliance with customs regulations. Examples of goods falling under this classification would include medium-scale solar inverters used in commercial or industrial solar installations, as long as their rated output falls within the specified 75 to 375 kVA range.
