Overview
This HTS classification covers a specific group of electric fans, characterized by their output not exceeding 125 watts and their intended mounting or placement. Specifically, it encompasses table fans, floor-standing fans, wall-mounted fans, window fans, and ceiling or roof fans that are designed for general air circulation and ventilation. The key defining feature is the self-contained electric motor with a power rating limited to 125 watts.
This category is distinguished from its sibling, 8414.59, which covers "Other" fans. While this node (8414.51) is for fans meeting the specified wattage and mounting criteria, the sibling category is for any fans not fitting into the more specific subheadings, such as those with higher motor outputs or different functional designs.
Within this category, further distinctions are made to provide more granular classification. The subcategory 8414.51.30.00 specifically addresses ceiling fans intended for permanent installation, distinguishing them from other types of fans covered under 8414.51. The remaining items within 8414.51 are then classified under 8414.51.90 as "Other," capturing all other fans that meet the general description of this heading but do not fall into the specifically enumerated ceiling fan subcategory.
