Alternative Classifications

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

8504.22.00Same rate: Free

If the transformer's capacity exceeds 650 kVA

Liquid dielectric transformers above 650 kVA are classified under a different tariff item.

8504.34.00Same rate: Free

If the transformer is dry-type rather than liquid-filled

Dry-type transformers are classified separately from liquid dielectric units.
