8407.21.00.80 - Other

This HTS category, 8407.21.00.80, specifically classifies "Other" outboard motors. This encompasses spark-ignition reciprocating or rotary internal combustion piston engines designed for marine propulsion, which are mounted externally to the vessel's hull, and are not accounted for by the preceding subcategories at this level. The primary function of these engines is to provide motive power for watercraft.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 8407.21.00.40, is crucial. The sibling category specifically covers outboard motors with a power output of less than 22.38 kW. Therefore, HTS 8407.21.00.80 applies to all other outboard motors that do not fall within that specified power range. This includes motors with a power output of 22.38 kW and above.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under 8407.21.00.80. Classification decisions at this level will therefore rely on confirming the item is indeed an outboard motor and that its power output does not meet the criteria for the "Less than 22.38 kW" category. The scope is firmly established by its parent categories, detailing spark-ignition internal combustion engines for marine propulsion, with the distinction here being the power output threshold for classification.
