https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=95449 Imported inverter assembly units used in mild hybrid vehicles were held to be "static converters" because they perform DC-AC inversion and AC-DC rectification through semiconductor switching devices with control circuitry, bringing them within HSN Explanatory Notes to heading 8504; they were therefore classified under tariff item 8504 40 90 rather than headings for vehicle parts or ignition/electrical equipment. Consequentially, since 8504 40 90 is covered by S.
