What HS code applies to a Sungrow IDC180E 60 kW DC EVSE imported from China to Norway?

Final HS classification must be confirmed by the importer against the EU TARIC consultation tool on the day of import. See §7 for the lookup workflow.

Which certifications are typically required for a Sungrow IDC180E in Norway?

The unit is evaluated against IEC 61851-1:2017, IEC 61851-23:2014/AMD1:2023, IEC 62196-3, and ISO 15118:2015, with CE marking under EU LVD 2014/35/EU, EMC 2014/30/EU and RED 2014/53/EU. Notified Body certificate numbers must be read off the Sungrow certificate PDF.

Does TradVolt sell finished chargers direct?

No. TradVolt is a trade and sourcing interface. We connect buyers to Chinese OEM supply and publish landed-cost frameworks such as this page.

What is the lead time for an EU/Norway-bound 60 kW DC order?

Lead time depends on OEM production slot, certification scope, and shipping mode. Confirm against the Sungrow IDC180E datasheet and a live RFQ.

Sungrow IDC180E 60 kW DC EVSE — Highway-Corridor TCO & Landed Cost, China → Norway

Verdict: Proceed to RFQ. Equipment: Sungrow IDC180E, 60 kW rated DC output, CCS2. Location: Norway, highway-corridor site. Horizon: 20 yr. Discount rate: 8.00 %. Evidence date: 2026-09-22. Limitation: financial figures are computed by the computed TradVolt TCO model from this page's own scenario inputs (CapEx 61,000 EUR; year-1 OpEx 12,000 EUR at 2.0 %/yr escalation; annual benefit 32,000 EUR); non-financial procedural and HS/duty inputs are bounded model assumptions to be re-confirmed at RFQ.

This page does not hardcode HS code, import duty, MVA or excise rates; pull them from the TARIC and Tolletaten lookups above on the day of import. Confirm the 10-digit national line against the Sungrow IDC180E description (HS 8504.40 / 8537 chapter family is typical for static converters / charging equipment — verify at the time of import).

8. Sensitivity grid (illustrative — model defaults)

Cells below are derived from the same model defaults as §3 (CapEx 61,000 EUR; year-1 OpEx 12,000 EUR; 2.0 %/yr escalation; sessions/day and price/kWh as in the audit input set). They are presented for input framing only and are not a financial quote.

Sessions/day ↓ / Price per kWh →	0.50 EUR/kWh	0.65 EUR/kWh	0.80 EUR/kWh

10. FAQ

Q1. What HS code should I use for a Sungrow IDC180E imported into Norway?

Confirm the 10-digit national line against the Sungrow IDC180E description on the EU TARIC consultation tool and the Norwegian Tolletaten portal on the day of import. Do not hardcode.

Q2. Is CE marking sufficient for the Norwegian market?

Norway participates in the EEA, so CE marking under LVD 2014/35/EU, EMC 2014/30/EU and RED 2014/53/EU is the typical route, alongside the applicable IEC standards (IEC 61851-1:2017, IEC 61851-23:2014/AMD1:2023, IEC 62196-3:2022) and ISO 15118 for Plug & Charge. Verify Notified Body certificates against the Sungrow certificate PDFs returned at RFQ.

Q3. What is the computed NPV and payback for this highway-corridor 60 kW scenario?

NPV = 116,942.19 EUR; IRR = 0.3136; simple payback = 3.09 yr; discounted payback = 3.71 yr; TCO per km EV = 0.1056 EUR vs ICE comparator 0.1824 EUR, over a 20-year horizon at an 8.00 % discount rate. See §3 (COMPUTED TABLES, verbatim).

Q4. Do I need OCPP for a public Norway site?

OCPP 1.6-J or 2.0.1 is the de facto back-office interface for public charging networks and is referenced by most Norwegian e-mobility service providers. Protocol and version are governed by the Open Charge Alliance.

Q5. What is the typical lead time?

Lead time depends on the OEM production slot, certification scope (CB scheme vs full CE), and shipping mode (sea vs air). Confirm against the Sungrow IDC180E datasheet and the RFQ reply.

Q6. Does TradVolt publish a public price list?

No. TradVolt publishes landed-cost frameworks (like this page) and connects buyers with Chinese OEM supply. Final OEM pricing, freight, duties and OpEx inputs come from the RFQ replies.
