Porcelain Suspension Insulators from Japan

High-voltage porcelain suspension insulators designed for suspending overhead power transmission lines, typically rated 69kV to 230kV. These ceramic insulators provide electrical insulation and mechanical support in low-frequency AC systems. Classified under 8546.20.00.30 as suspension-type ceramic insulators for high-voltage applications.

Import Tips

- Verify insulator strength rating (e.g

70kN, 120kN) matches technical specifications for customs valuation

- Provide ANSI C29.2 or IEC 60383 certification to avoid reclassification as general ceramic ware

- Common pitfall: Missing pollution performance data can trigger additional testing requirements
