Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

8504.22.00Same rate: Free

If the power handling capacity exceeds 650 kVA

Larger liquid dielectric transformers are classified under a different tariff item.

8504.32.00Same rate: Free

If the transformer is dry-type with capacity exceeding 1 kVA but not exceeding 16 kVA

Dry-type transformers of this capacity range fall under a separate heading.
