8501.33.40 - Other

This HTS classification covers "Other" DC motors and DC generators that fall within a specific output range. Specifically, these are DC motors and generators, excluding photovoltaic generators, with an output exceeding 75 kW but not exceeding 375 kW. This category serves as a catch-all for units within this power band that do not fit into more specific sub-classifications based on precise kilowatt ratings or generator type.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 8501.33.20 and 8501.33.30.00, is crucial. While all three fall under "Of an output exceeding 75 kW but not exceeding 375 kW: Motors:", 8501.33.20 specifically covers outputs exceeding 75 kW but under 149.2 kW, and 8501.33.30.00 addresses outputs from 149.2 kW up to 150 kW. Therefore, 8501.33.40 is designated for units within the broader 75 kW to 375 kW range that do not meet the exact wattage thresholds of its sibling categories.

The subcategories 8501.33.40.40 ("Not exceeding 373 kW") and 8501.33.40.60 ("Other") further refine this classification. The ".40" subcategory specifically addresses units within the 75 kW to 375 kW range, but with an upper limit of 373 kW. The ".60" subcategory, "Other," is then utilized for any remaining DC motors or generators within the overall 75 kW to 375 kW output range that do not meet the 373 kW criterion, effectively capturing the final portion of the power spectrum up to 375 kW.
