HS Code:
The category 'Exceeding 11.19 kW but not exceeding 19.4 kW' typically refers to machinery or equipment, such as engines or motors, with a power output within this specific range. This category falls under the Harmonized System (HS) Code structure, often related to internal combustion engines, electric motors, or other power-generating equipment used in industrial, agricultural, or automotive applications. Products in this range are critical for medium-duty applications, balancing efficiency and power for small to medium-scale machinery.
