8501.33.40.40 - Not exceeding 373 kW 🖩

This HTS classification, 8501.33.40.40, specifically covers direct current (DC) motors with an output rating exceeding 75 kilowatts (kW) but not exceeding 375 kW, falling within the broader category of "Other DC motors" and "Motors." These are robust electric motors designed for industrial applications where significant rotational power is required, often used in heavy machinery, large conveyor systems, industrial pumps, and other equipment demanding substantial torque and speed control. The primary distinguishing factor for this subcategory is its specific power output range, differentiating it from motors with lower or higher power ratings within the DC motor classification.

This specific subcategory is distinguished from its sibling category, 8501.33.40.60 ("Other"), by its explicit exclusion from that residual category. While both fall under "Motors" within the "Of an output exceeding 75 kW but not exceeding 375 kW" bracket, the ".40.40" designation implies a more precise definition or common understanding of what constitutes "Other" within this power range, potentially based on specific technical specifications, construction, or intended use not covered by the more general sibling. Since this is a leaf node, it signifies the most granular level of classification for DC motors within this power output range.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Its specific coverage is defined by the combination of being an "Other" DC motor, an "Other" motor, and falling within the "exceeding 75 kW but not exceeding 375 kW" output range. Therefore, classification into 8501.33.40.40 is definitive once a DC motor meets these precise criteria and is not more specifically classified under a more granular HTS code that might exist at this level if further subdivisions were present. The key criteria for classification remain its DC functionality and its precise power output.
