8504.31.60.00 - Having a power handling capacity of 1 kVA

This HTS category, 8504.31.60.00, specifically covers "Other transformers" that have a power handling capacity *exactly* of 1 kVA. These transformers fall under the broader classification of electrical transformers, static converters, and inductors. Within this group, they are further refined as "Other transformers" and then distinguished by their precise power capacity. The term "other" in this context indicates transformers that do not fit into more specific subcategories, if such exist at lower levels, but are primarily defined by their 1 kVA rating.

To differentiate this category from its sibling, 8504.31.40, it is crucial to note the exact power handling capacity. While 8504.31.40 covers transformers with a capacity *less than* 1 kVA, this category, 8504.31.60.00, is for transformers with a capacity *equal to* 1 kVA. This precise distinction is a key factor in accurate customs classification, ensuring the correct tariff and duty rates are applied.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 8504.31.60.00 is primarily determined by verifying the transformer's specified power handling capacity. Examples of transformers that might fall here include those designed for specific voltage conversion applications where the precise 1 kVA rating is a defining technical specification, such as certain power supplies for small electronic devices or specialized industrial equipment.
