8501.10.60.80 - Other 🖩

This HTS subcategory, 8501.10.60.80, specifically covers "Other" electric motors with an output exceeding 18.65 Watts but not exceeding 37.5 Watts, when they are not otherwise classified under AC or DC types at this level. This designation is crucial for goods that fit the power output parameters but do not conform to the standard AC or DC distinctions used in preceding classifications. Such motors might include specialized designs or those where the direct current (DC) nature is not the primary distinguishing feature for classification.

The primary distinction from its sibling categories lies in the "Other" designation. While 8501.10.60.20 clearly identifies AC motors within this power range, and a separate, unlisted sibling category would presumably cover DC motors, this subcategory serves as a residual classification. It ensures that all motors within the specified wattage range are correctly classified, even if their operational characteristics do not neatly fall into AC or DC definitions due to unique design elements or lack of explicit electrical type designation at this level.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within this code hinges on confirming the motor's output wattage falls within the 18.65 W to 37.5 W range and that it does not meet the specific criteria for AC or DC classification at the preceding level. Importers should refer to product specifications and technical data sheets to verify the motor's output and confirm it doesn't align with more specific AC or DC classifications at this stage of the tariff schedule.
