Alternative Classifications

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

8504.21.00Same rate: 35%

If capacity not exceeding 100 kVA

Lower power handling capacity shifts classification to the preceding subheading 8504.21.0040.

8504.23.00Higher: 36.6% vs 35%

If specifically for wind turbines

Transformers designed expressly for wind-powered generators fall under 8504.23 regardless of capacity.

8504.50Lower: 10% vs 35%

If functioning primarily as inductor

Devices primarily acting as inductors rather than voltage transformers are reclassified to 8504.50.

Import Tips & Compliance

Ensure compliance with IEEE C57.12.00 standards; provide short-circuit test data during customs clearance

Declare exact oil volume and type (PCB-free) to meet EPA import regulations for dielectric fluids

Avoid common pitfalls by specifying if it's pole-mounted or pad-mounted in entry documentation
