How to choose the right subheading
- Decide whether the item is a hydraulic turbine or water wheel, not a steam or gas turbine.
- Read the turbine power rating in kW to select 8410.11.00.00, 8410.12.00.00 or 8410.13.00.00.
- Classify regulators and other parts in 8410.90.00.00 when they are parts of hydraulic turbines or water wheels.
- Separate a valve used in a water pipe from a turbine regulator; pipe valves are not covered here.
- Identify whether the item is the prime mover itself or a separate electric generator.
