Summary
HS code 8502.13 covers generating sets with compression-ignition internal combustion piston engines (diesel or semi-diesel engines), of an output exceeding 375 kVA. It sits in heading 85.02 (electric generating sets and rotary converters) in chapter 85 (electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof; sound recorders and reproducers, television image and sound recorders and reproducers, and parts and accessories of such articles). Other goods of heading 85.02 are classified under 8502.11 (generating sets with compression-ignition internal combustion piston engines (diesel or semi-diesel engines), of an output not exceeding 75 kVA), 8502.12 (generating sets with compression-ignition internal combustion piston engines (diesel or semi-diesel engines), of an output exceeding 75 kVA but not exceeding 375 kVA), 8502.20 (generating sets with spark-ignition internal combustion piston engines), 8502.31 (other generating sets, wind-powered) or 2 others. National tariff lines under 8502.13 are live on border.bot for the United States (2 lines, also used by 1 other country).
What this code covers
HS code 8502.13 covers generating sets with compression-ignition internal combustion piston engines (diesel or semi-diesel engines), of an output exceeding 375 kVA.
The legal text of the subheading is “Generating sets with compression-ignition internal combustion piston engines (diesel or semi-diesel engines): Of an output exceeding 375 kVA”, read under “Generating sets with compression-ignition internal combustion piston engines (diesel or semi-diesel engines)”, in HS2022.
What it doesn’t cover
Other goods of heading 85.02 are classified under 8502.11 (generating sets with compression-ignition internal combustion piston engines (diesel or semi-diesel engines), of an output not exceeding 75 kVA), 8502.12 (generating sets with compression-ignition internal combustion piston engines (diesel or semi-diesel engines), of an output exceeding 75 kVA but not exceeding 375 kVA), 8502.20 (generating sets with spark-ignition internal combustion piston engines), 8502.31 (other generating sets, wind-powered) or 2 others.

How it is structured
8502.13 is a six-digit subheading. Its first two digits, 85, are the chapter; the first four, 8502, are heading 85.02; the last two, 13, identify the subheading within the heading.
Countries add their own digits after these six for their national tariff lines.
