8502.13.00 - Of an output exceeding 375 kVA

This HTS category, 8502.13.00, covers generating sets powered by compression-ignition internal combustion piston engines (commonly known as diesel or semi-diesel engines) specifically designed to produce an electrical output exceeding 375 kVA. These are typically larger, industrial-grade or heavy-duty units intended for significant power generation needs, such as primary power sources for industrial facilities, backup power for large commercial buildings, or power for remote mining operations.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling categories by its defined power output range. While 8502.11.00.00 covers sets with outputs not exceeding 75 kVA, and 8502.12.00.00 encompasses those between 75 kVA and 375 kVA, this category is for units that surpass the 375 kVA threshold, indicating a substantial increase in generating capacity.

Within this category, further subclassification is made based on the upper limit of the output. Subcategory 8502.13.00.20 applies to generating sets exceeding 375 kVA but not exceeding 1,000 kVA, while 8502.13.00.40 covers those with an output exceeding 1,000 kVA. This detailed breakdown allows for precise tariff treatment based on the scale of the generating set's electrical production capability.
