Alternative Classifications

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

8511.80Lower: 12.5% vs 36.1%

If combined with rectifier functionality for alternators

Voltage regulators integral to alternators fall under heading 8511 for electrical machinery.

8536.41.00Higher: 37.7% vs 36.1%

If for industrial relay-based voltage control

Relay-based automatic regulators may classify under Chapter 85 as electrical relays rather than control instruments.

9032.89.60Higher: 36.7% vs 36.1%

If designed for systems over 24V

Voltage over 24V excludes it from the specific 6/12/24V subheading.
