8504.40.95 - Other

This HTS category, 8504.40.95, covers static converters that do not fall under more specific subheadings within 8504.40. Static converters are devices that convert electrical energy from one form to another without the use of moving parts. This includes a wide range of power conversion equipment.

It's important to distinguish this "Other" category from its siblings. For instance, 8504.40.40.00 specifically covers speed drive controllers for electric motors, while subheadings under 8504.40.60.00 address power supplies for automatic data processing machines, telecommunication apparatus (8504.40.85.00), and certain display devices. Therefore, 8504.40.95 acts as a residual category for static converters not otherwise enumerated.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist to provide more granular classification. The subheadings 8504.40.95.70 and 8504.40.95.80 differentiate between inverters and other types of static converters, respectively. Inverters are specifically designed to convert direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). The "Other" subheading (8504.40.95.80) would then capture a variety of static converters not meeting the specific criteria of inverters or the other sibling categories.
