8504.40.70.07 - With a power output exceeding 50 W but not exceeding 150 W

This HTS category, 8504.40.70.07, specifically classifies static converters that function as power supplies with an output power rating exceeding 50 watts but not exceeding 150 watts. These devices are typically used to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) or to regulate voltage for electronic equipment. Common examples include power adapters and internal power supplies for computers, servers, and other electronic devices where precise voltage and current regulation are essential.

This specific subcategory is distinguished from its siblings based on its power output range. For instance, 8504.40.70.01 covers power supplies with a lower power output, not exceeding 50 watts. Conversely, 8504.40.70.12 addresses those with a higher output, ranging from over 150 watts up to 500 watts. The "Other" category (8504.40.70.18) is reserved for static converters that do not fit within the defined power output ranges of the preceding subcategories.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the primary classification criterion remains the power output specification. When classifying, it is crucial to accurately measure or verify the maximum continuous power output of the static converter to ensure correct placement within the HTS. This precise categorization aids in determining applicable duties and trade statistics.
