Alternative Classifications

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

8501.64.01Same rate: 37.4%

If for use in non-wind turbine applications like marine propulsion

Lack of specific wind-powered set designation moves it to general high-output AC generators.

8502.39.00Higher: 37.5% vs 37.4%

If paired with other prime mover types

Generators for non-wind electric generating sets (diesel, gas, etc.) use different subheadings.

8411.82.80Higher: 37.5% vs 37.4%

If classified as gas turbine generator components

Materially similar generators for gas turbine applications fall under Chapter 84 machinery.
