About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This HTS category, 8501.31.20.00, specifically classifies DC motors with an output power ranging from exceeding 37.5 Watts but not exceeding 74.6 Watts. These are single-phase or polyphase electric motors powered by direct current, designed for various applications where precise and consistent power delivery within this specified range is required. Examples include small industrial equipment, specialized machinery, and certain types of portable appliances.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings based on the precise wattage. For instance, sibling category 8501.31.40.00 covers motors with a higher power output, exceeding 74.6 W but not exceeding 735 W. Conversely, categories 8501.31.50.00 and 8501.31.60.00 address different output ranges or general "other" DC motors not otherwise specified within the 750 W limit. Therefore, accurate measurement and verification of the motor's rated output power are paramount for correct classification.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories that subdivide this specific power range of DC motors. Classification relies solely on the confirmed power output and the direct current power source. Importers and exporters must ensure their documentation clearly states the motor's rated wattage to align with the criteria for this particular classification.
