Last updated: July 2026 dataStatic converters — including rectifiers, inverters, speed drive controllers, and power supplies for automatic data processing (ADP) machines — span one of the most granularly subdivided headings in Chapter 85, with 18 active 10-digit tariff lines differentiating by end-use (ADP-incorporated vs. standalone), output wattage (≤50 W through >500 W), and device type. Thailand leads US import supply for this heading, with China and Vietnam also prominent sources; goods of Chinese origin face Section 301 exposure across multiple lines. Speed drive controllers (8504404000) serve industrial motor applications, while the ADP power supply lines are essential inputs for server, desktop, and embedded computing hardware.

The distinction turns on whether the power supply is designed and dedicated for physical incorporation into an ADP machine or unit of heading 8471 (e.g., a server PSU sold as an OEM component) versus a standalone or general-purpose unit. Documentation such as OEM purchase orders, technical specifications, and end-use declarations can support the incorporated-use claim. Misclassification between these groups carries duty and penalty risk, so a binding ruling from CBP is advisable for high-volume importers.
Yes. Inverters under 8504409570 originating from China are generally subject to Section 301 tariffs. Importers should check the current Section 301 annexes and any product-specific exclusions, as the list and exclusion status can change. Working with a licensed customs broker to confirm current applicability is strongly recommended.
