Overview
This HTS classification, 8504.40.60.01, specifically covers static converters designed for physical incorporation into automatic data processing machines or units thereof of heading 8471. The defining characteristic of goods within this subcategory is their power output, which must not exceed 50 Watts. These are typically the power supplies found within or directly supporting the core functions of computers and related data processing equipment.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial. While all fall under static converters suitable for incorporation into ADP machines, 8504.40.60.01 is strictly for those with a low power requirement, up to 50W. Sibling categories, such as 8504.40.60.07 and 8504.40.60.12, cover power supplies with progressively higher power outputs, up to 150W and 500W respectively. The category 8504.40.60.18, "Other," is for those static converters meeting the incorporation criteria but falling outside the specified power ranges.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification relies solely on meeting the criteria of being a static converter, designed for incorporation into ADP equipment of heading 8471, and crucially, possessing a power output not exceeding 50 Watts. Examples include internal power supply units for smaller computing devices, certain adapters for peripheral integration where low power is required, or specialized power bricks for compact electronic systems.
