HS-6 · Subheading
850422
Electrical transformers; liquid dielectric, having a power handling capacity exceeding 650kVA but not exceeding 10,000kVA
Heading 8504 — Electric transformers, static converters (e.g. rectifiers) and inductors
Chapter 85: Electrical machinery and equipment
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 850422 when importing or exporting electrical transformers that have a power handling capacity exceeding 650 kVA but not exceeding 10,000 kVA. For instance, if you're shipping a transformer rated at 8000 kVA for industrial use, this is the correct code.
This code specifically covers liquid dielectric transformers, which are often used in substations or for large-scale power distribution. In contrast, HS-6 850421 applies to transformers with a lower capacity, under 650 kVA, typically used in smaller applications.
When classifying transformers, consider the type of dielectric used. Liquid dielectric transformers, as specified in HS-6 850422, use oil or other liquids for insulation and cooling, distinguishing them from dry-type transformers found under different codes.
If you are dealing with transformers that exceed 10,000 kVA, you would need to look at HS-6 850423. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for compliance and accurate tariff classification.

Questions & answers
For orientation only—the binding text is your national tariff and the WCO nomenclature your country uses.
- What types of transformers fall under HS-6 850422?
- HS-6 850422 covers liquid dielectric transformers with a power handling capacity greater than 650 kVA and up to 10,000 kVA, typically used in industrial and utility applications.
- How can I determine if my transformer qualifies for HS-6 850422?
- Check the power handling capacity of your transformer; it must exceed 650 kVA but not exceed 10,000 kVA and utilize liquid dielectric for insulation.
- Is there a difference between HS-6 850422 and HS-6 850421?
- Yes, HS-6 850421 applies to transformers with a power handling capacity of 650 kVA or less, while HS-6 850422 is for those exceeding 650 kVA.
- What is the significance of liquid dielectric in HS-6 850422?
- Liquid dielectric transformers use oil or other liquids for insulation and cooling, which is essential for their operation in high-capacity applications.
- Can I use HS-6 850422 for transformers that exceed 10,000 kVA?
- No, transformers exceeding 10,000 kVA fall under HS-6 850423, which is a different classification.
- What documentation do I need for importing HS-6 850422 transformers?
- You will typically need a commercial invoice, packing list, and any relevant certifications regarding the transformer’s specifications and safety standards.
- Are there any special regulations for importing transformers under HS-6 850422?
- Yes, you should check for any specific import regulations or standards that apply to electrical equipment in your country, as these can vary.
- What are common applications for transformers classified under HS-6 850422?
- Common applications include power generation plants, large industrial facilities, and substations where high voltage and capacity are required.
