8501.51.50.40 - Other

This HTS classification, 8501.51.50.40, covers "Other" AC motors that are multi-phase and have an output not exceeding 750 W. Specifically, it encompasses AC motors within this power range that do not fall under the more specific subcategories at this level. This includes a broad range of general-purpose AC motors and specialized motors whose design or primary function does not align with other more precisely defined categories.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 8501.51.50.20, which is designated for "Gear motors." While both are multi-phase AC motors within the 750 W output limit, the 8501.51.50.20 category is exclusively for motors that incorporate a gear reduction mechanism as an integral part of their construction, altering the output speed and torque. HTS 8501.51.50.40, therefore, covers AC motors that are not equipped with such integrated gearing.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification for these "other" AC motors relies on the precise power output specifications (not exceeding 750 W) and the absence of specific features like integrated gearing that would qualify them for a more granular HTS code. Importers and exporters should ensure that the motor's power rating is accurately determined and that it does not meet the criteria for any other, more specific classifications within heading 8501.
