8532.25.00.40 - 1,000 V or greater

This HTS category, 8532.25.00.40, specifically classifies fixed capacitors with a dielectric material of paper or plastics that are designed for alternating current (AC) service and have a voltage rating of 1,000 volts or greater. These capacitors are integral components in various electrical systems where the need for voltage regulation, filtering, or energy storage at higher AC voltage levels is paramount. They are commonly found in industrial equipment, power transmission, and high-power AC circuits.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling categories by its explicit voltage requirement. Unlike categories 8532.25.00.10, 8532.25.00.20, and 8532.25.00.30, which cover capacitors rated for less than 300 V, 300 V to less than 600 V, and 600 V to less than 1,000 V respectively, this category is solely for those exceeding the 1,000 V threshold. This distinction is crucial for accurate tariff assessment based on the operational voltage capacity of the capacitor.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, the primary focus for classification under 8532.25.00.40 is the confirmation of its dielectric material (paper or plastics), its intended use for AC service, and, most importantly, its rated voltage of 1,000 volts or higher. Examples within this category would include AC motor run capacitors, AC power factor correction capacitors, and AC filter capacitors designed for robust performance in high-voltage applications.
