Alternative Classifications

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

8504.22.00Same rate: 35%

If dry-type construction

Dry-type transformers without liquid dielectric fall under 8504.22, changing the material-based classification.

8504.40.60Same rate: 35%

If imported as power supply unit for specific equipment

Static converters like rectifiers or complete power supplies are classified under 8504.40 based on function rather than pure transformer design.

8504.90Lower: 10% vs 35%

If imported as transformer parts only

Cores, windings, or assemblies not constituting a complete transformer unit are classified as parts in 8504.90.

Import Tips & Compliance

Obtain NEMA and DOE efficiency certifications to meet U.S. energy standards for liquid-filled transformers

Include detailed test reports for dielectric strength, BIL rating, and oil type (e.g

mineral oil) in documentation

Verify labeling for voltage ratings, kVA capacity, and temperature rise to avoid CBP reclassification
