Small wind turbines (residential/commercial, typically 1–20 kW) generating electricity are classified under 8502.31. The complete turbine assembly — rotor blades, nacelle, generator, and yaw system — is classified together as a generating set. The mast/tower is separately 7308 (metal structures) if imported independently. Composite fibreglass rotor blades imported separately are 3926.90 or 7222 (steel). Section 201 safeguard tariffs that apply to solar panels do not extend to wind turbines — 8502.31 is not covered. Micro wind turbines attached to buildings (building-integrated wind, BIWT) are still 8502.31. A wind turbine's permanent magnet alternator (generator component only) imported separately is 8501.64. Grid-connection requirements (IEC 61400-2 for small turbines) affect market access but not classification.
