CRGO Steel Laminations for Distribution Transformer Cores
Cold-rolled grain-oriented (CRGO) electrical steel laminations cut to precise shapes for stacking into distribution transformer cores. The grain orientation minimizes core losses in 50/60 Hz applications. HTS 8504.90.96.34 applies to these transformer-specific stacked core laminations.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If for static converters/rectifiers
Laminations designed for power supply or inverter cores classified under static converter parts subheading.
If classified by steel tube/pipe dimensions
Incorrectly measured as steel tubing rather than electrical laminations for transformer cores.
If laminated cores already assembled
Pre-stacked and bound laminated cores are classified as complete core assemblies, not individual laminations.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include technical drawings showing lamination stacking pattern and transformer core design
• Document core loss specifications (W/kg) to substantiate electrical steel grade classification
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying as general steel by emphasizing transformer end-use
