Siemens GEAFOL 630 kVA Distribution Transformer
Siemens GEAFOL series oil-immersed transformer rated at 630 kVA for medium-voltage distribution networks up to 20 kV. Its liquid dielectric design and power capacity between 500-650 kVA qualify it directly under HTS 8504.21.00.80 for power grid applications.
Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If power handling over 10,000 kVA
Higher capacity power transformers exceed the 650 kVA limit and enter subheadings for larger units.
If designed without liquid dielectric
Non-liquid (dry-type) construction moves classification to separate subheadings based on insulation type.
If imported in kit form for final assembly
Unassembled transformers or core/coil sets without tank are treated as parts under 8504.90.

The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right HTS code — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Certify compliance with DOE efficiency standards (TP1 or TP2) via NEMA TP1 test reports for customs clearance
• Label transformer with exact kVA, voltage, and dielectric type; discrepancies lead to delays or penalties
• Obtain FCC certification if equipped with monitoring electronics to cover electromagnetic compatibility
