This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the generator is used for induction or dielectric loss heating rather than plasma generation
This alternative covers industrial furnaces functioning by induction or dielectric loss, which may apply if the primary function is heating rather than plasma activation.
If the generator performs a non-heating function, such as surface modification without thermal treatment
Machines with a specific function not covered elsewhere in Chapter 85 may fall under this heading for other industrial machinery.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the generator is classified as an electric furnace for heat treatment, not as a general plasma system, to qualify for 8514.32.00
• Have technical documentation ready to show the CBSA that it operates via dielectric barrier discharge
• Verify if any end-use certificates are required for industrial processing equipment
