Overview
This HTS classification, 8504.22.00.40, specifically covers liquid dielectric transformers with a power handling capacity that is greater than 650 kVA but does not exceed 2,500 kVA. These transformers are designed to step up or step down voltage levels for electrical power distribution and industrial applications, utilizing a liquid medium for insulation and cooling. They are typically found in substations, large manufacturing facilities, and power generation plants where significant electrical power is managed.
Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 8504.22.00.80, is the precise power handling capacity. While both fall under liquid dielectric transformers exceeding 650 kVA, this subheading is limited to the range of up to 2,500 kVA, whereas the sibling covers transformers with a capacity exceeding 2,500 kVA up to 10,000 kVA. This distinction is crucial for accurate tariff assessment and reflects differences in the scale and application of the equipment.
As a leaf node within the HTS structure, this category does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within 8504.22.00.40 is solely determined by the defining characteristic of liquid dielectric transformers having a power handling capacity within the specified range of 650 kVA to 2,500 kVA. The absence of subcategories means that all transformers meeting these specific power capacity and liquid dielectric criteria will be classified here, without further breakdown based on design or specific use, provided they do not exceed the upper limit.
