Alternative Classifications

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

8504.22.00Same rate: 35%

If power capacity exceeds 100 kVA up to 650 kVA

Higher kVA rating shifts to next capacity subheading in liquid dielectric transformers.

8504.31Lower: 11.6% vs 35%

If uses dry-type insulation instead of liquid

Dry-type transformers fall under separate subheading regardless of kVA capacity.

8504.90.75.00Same rate: 35%

If imported as incomplete assembly without full tank

Parts of transformers are classified separately from complete units.
