8501.51.40 - Exceeding 74.6 W but not exceeding 735 W

This HTS category, 8501.51.40, specifically classifies AC multi-phase electric motors that generate an electrical output exceeding 74.6 Watts but not exceeding 735 Watts. These motors are designed for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications where a substantial but not exceptionally high power output is required. Examples include motors used in pumps, fans, conveyors, and various machinery components within this defined power range.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its sibling classifications. Motors with an output not exceeding 37.5 W but not exceeding 74.6 W fall under 8501.51.20. Conversely, motors with an output exceeding 735 W but under 746 W are classified under 8501.51.50. The "Other" category at this level (8501.51.60) would encompass AC multi-phase motors of an output not exceeding 750W that do not fit the specific wattage ranges of the preceding sibling categories.

This category is further subdivided to provide more granular classification. The subcategory 8501.51.40.20 covers "Gear motors," which are integral units combining an electric motor with a gear reduction system. The remaining motors within the 74.6 W to 735 W range that are not gear motors are classified under the "Other" subcategory, 8501.51.40.40. This distinction allows for more precise tariff tracking based on the motor's integrated features.
