Overview
This HTS classification, 8504.40.60.12, specifically covers static power converters designed for integration into automatic data processing (ADP) machines or units of heading 8471. These converters are characterized by their power output, which falls within a defined range. They are intended to supply the necessary electrical power to the internal components of ADP systems, ensuring their proper operation.
This subcategory is distinguished from its siblings by its precise power output range. Unlike categories 8504.40.60.01 (not exceeding 50 W) and 8504.40.60.07 (exceeding 50 W but not exceeding 150 W), this classification applies to converters with a power output greater than 150 W but not exceeding 500 W. This differentiation is crucial for accurate tariff assessment, as power output is a key determinant for these types of power supplies. The sibling category 8504.40.60.18 covers all other static converters falling under the parent heading not otherwise specified by power output.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, the classification hinges entirely on the product's function (as a power supply for ADP machines or units thereof) and its specific power output rating, which must be verified to fall within the 150 W to 500 W range.
