Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If imported as individual replacement parts like rotor blades
Parts of hydraulic turbines are classified separately under 8410.90, not as complete turbines.
If assembled with electric generator as a complete generating set
Complete hydro-electric generating sets fall under heading 8502, combining turbine and generator.
If for turbines exceeding 10,000 kW power capacity
Higher power hydraulic turbines are classified in 8410.11 subheading.
