8501.32.55 - Other

HTS code 8501.32.55 encompasses "Other" electric motors within the broader category of DC motors with an output exceeding 750 W but not exceeding 75 kW. This classification applies to DC motors that do not fit into more specific, itemized categories at the same level. It is crucial to differentiate this code from its sibling, 8501.32.45.00, which specifically covers electric motors intended as the primary power source for certain electric vehicles. Therefore, 8501.32.55 is for DC motors in this power range that are *not* for that particular automotive application.

To provide further clarity and facilitate precise classification, HTS code 8501.32.55 is further subdivided. The two subcategories, 8501.32.55.20 and 8501.32.55.40, distinguish between motors intended for use in civil aircraft and all other remaining motors within this general classification. This breakdown allows for targeted duties and statistics based on the specific end-use application of these powerful DC motors.
