8501.31.50.00 - Exceeding 735 W but under 746 W

This HTS category, 8501.31.50.00, specifically classifies Direct Current (DC) motors with an electrical output exceeding 735 Watts (W) but not exceeding 746 Watts (W). These motors fall under the broader classification of "Other DC motors; DC generators, other than photovoltaic generators" and specifically within the subcategory for those with an output not exceeding 750 W. The defining characteristic for classification within this node is the precise power output range.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling categories primarily by its power output. Category 8501.31.20.00 covers motors with a lower power output (exceeding 37.5 W but not exceeding 74.6 W), while 8501.31.40.00 encompasses a broader range (exceeding 74.6 W but not exceeding 735 W). Category 8501.31.60.00, labeled "Other," serves as a residual category for DC motors within this output limit that do not fit the specific power ranges defined by the preceding sibling categories.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, the classification of a DC motor under 8501.31.50.00 is definitively determined by its measured electrical output falling precisely within the 735 W to 746 W range. This precise wattage specification ensures accurate customs declaration and duty assessment for motors used in a variety of industrial and commercial applications requiring a specific, relatively high power output for DC operation.
