Qi wireless charging pads and stands are classified under 8504.40 as static converters — they convert AC mains power to DC power delivered inductively. MagSafe chargers (Apple proprietary magnetic wireless charging) are also 8504.40. Multi-device wireless charging stations (phone + earbuds + watch) are 8504.40 by essential character. A 2-in-1 phone stand with integrated wireless charger is 8504.40 — the stand structure is incidental to the charging function. Car wireless charging mounts are 8504.40. Wireless chargers with built-in cooling fans remain 8504.40 — the fan manages heat but doesn't change the essential power conversion function.
