About HS Code 840682
This HS code pertains to steam and other vapor turbines with an output not exceeding 40MW, used for applications other than marine propulsion. These turbines are versatile, finding use in industrial power generation, combined heat and power (CHP) plants, waste-to-energy facilities, and smaller-scale renewable energy projects like biomass or geothermal. The trade in these turbines is broader than their larger counterparts, catering to a wider range of industrial buyers and regional energy projects. Importers include industrial facilities, municipalities, and smaller utility companies seeking efficient energy solutions. Exporters are often specialized manufacturers offering a range of standardized and custom-engineered solutions.
Products Under This Code
Industrial back-pressure turbines, condensing steam turbines (small), biomass power plant turbines, geothermal steam turbines, waste heat recovery turbines, small-scale CHP turbines
Real World Examples
Siemens Energy SST-100 turbine, GE Power small industrial steam turbines, MAN Energy Solutions steam turbines, Fuji Electric steam turbines
Common Misclassification
The key differentiator is the output capacity (not exceeding 40MW) compared to 840681, and they are distinct from gas turbines (8411) which utilize combustion gases as their working fluid.
Products Classified Under 8406.82
Industry
This code belongs to the Electronics & Electrical Equipment industry.
Trade Overview
European countries, the USA, and emerging economies with growing industrial sectors are key importers, with Germany, Japan, and Italy being significant exporters of these mid-sized turbines.
