8511.80.20.00 - Designed for use on 6, 12 or 24 V systems

This HTS category, 8511.80.20.00, specifically covers electrical ignition or starting equipment designed for use on low-voltage internal combustion engines, typically those operating on 6, 12, or 24-volt systems. This includes components such as starter motors, ignition coils, and related electrical regulating devices that are integral to the ignition and starting process of spark-ignition or compression-ignition engines. The defining characteristic for this classification is the voltage range of the system the equipment is intended for.

While sibling category 8511.80.40.00 encompasses "Other" equipment within the broader "Other equipment" heading, this subcategory is reserved for specific voltage-regulated components. Therefore, the distinction lies in the explicit functional requirement of operating within a 6, 12, or 24-volt system for starting or ignition purposes. Items not meeting this specific voltage design, or those that serve a different primary function within the ignition system, would fall under the residual "Other" category.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification terminates at this level, meaning that any goods meeting the description for this code are classified directly here, provided they are not explicitly excluded by superior headings or specific section/chapter notes. Classification at this level relies on verifying the intended voltage application of the electrical ignition or starting equipment.
