8501.40.20.40 - Other

This HTS classification, 8501.40.20.40, encompasses single-phase AC motors that are not single-speed and are designed for an electrical output exceeding 37.5 watts but not exceeding 74.6 watts. These motors are characterized by their AC power source and single-phase operation, falling within a specific power output range critical for numerous industrial and domestic applications. The "Other" designation indicates that these motors are not specifically defined by any further subdivisions within this particular tariff line.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 8501.40.20.20 (Gear motors), is the absence of an integrated gear reduction mechanism. While both are single-phase AC motors within the same power output range, the 8501.40.20.20 classification specifically applies to units where a gearbox is a factory-installed component, altering the output speed and torque. Therefore, motors classified under 8501.40.20.40 are standalone motor units, lacking such integrated gearing.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under 8501.40.20.40 is determined by the motor's single-phase AC type, its output power falling between 37.5W and 74.6W, and the absence of features that would place it into a more specific HTS classification. Practical examples might include certain types of fan motors, small pump motors, or motors used in specialized appliances that meet these precise specifications.
