HS Code 85042300 refers to liquid dielectric transformers with a power handling capacity exceeding 10,000 kVA. These transformers are crucial in electrical power distribution systems, where they help step up or step down voltage levels. The HS code is a harmonized system code used to classify products for international trade.

The duty rate for this HS code is 1.6%. This rate is applicable whenever a country lowers a trade barrier or opens up a market. It ensures that the same goods or services from all trading partners are subject to the same duty rate.

Liquid dielectric transformers are designed to handle high power capacities, making them suitable for large-scale electrical distribution networks. They use a liquid dielectric, such as mineral oil, to insulate and cool the transformer components. This allows for efficient and reliable power transmission.

Several countries have special tariff preference programs for HS Code 85042300. These programs aim to promote trade by providing favorable treatment, such as duty-free access or special rates, to eligible trading partners. The Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) is one such program that offers duty-free treatment for this HS code. Other countries, such as Australia, Bahrain, Chile, Israel, Jordan, Morocco, Oman, Peru, and Singapore, also provide special rates or duty-free treatment for liquid dielectric transformers.

In the United States, various states engage in the import and export of HS Code 85042300. Importing states include South Dakota, California, Illinois, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, District of Columbia, and North Carolina. Exporting states include Illinois, Massachusetts, New Mexico, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin.

Overall, HS Code 85042300 represents liquid dielectric transformers with a power handling capacity exceeding 10,000 kVA. These transformers play a vital role in electricity distribution networks, and their international trade is facilitated by special tariff preference programs and standardized classification systems like the HS code.
