8501.51.60 - Other

This HTS classification, 8501.51.60, encompasses "Other" AC motors, specifically multi-phase motors with an output not exceeding 750 W. This broad category serves as a catch-all for qualifying multi-phase AC motors within this power range that do not fit into the more specific sibling categories based on precise wattage. Examples would include motors where the specific output wattage falls within the 0-750W range but isn't explicitly defined by the narrower watt ranges of adjacent codes.

It is crucial to distinguish this "Other" category from its siblings, 8501.51.20, 8501.51.40, and 8501.51.50. These sibling codes are defined by specific, narrower output wattage bands. For instance, 8501.51.20 covers motors from over 37.5 W to 74.6 W, while 8501.51.40 covers those from over 74.6 W to 735 W. Classification into 8501.51.60 is appropriate only when the motor's output power does not align precisely with these more granular definitions.

Within this "Other" classification, further subdivisions exist to provide more granular detail. The subcategories 8501.51.60.20 and 8501.51.60.40 distinguish between gear motors and all other types of motors, respectively. This differentiation is important for tariff purposes, acknowledging the distinct functional characteristics and potential applications of gear motors within the broader scope of multi-phase AC motors not exceeding 750 W.
