8501.53.40.80 - Other 🖩

This HTS classification, 8501.53.40.80, encompasses "Other" AC multi-phase motors with an output exceeding 75 kW but under 149.2 kW. These motors are designed for general industrial applications and are not specifically intended for use in civil aircraft, distinguishing them from the sibling category 8501.53.40.40. The classification focuses on the electrical characteristics and power rating of the motor, excluding specialized applications or components.

The primary defining characteristic of motors falling under this code is their power output range. They represent a significant power capacity, suitable for driving larger machinery in manufacturing, processing, and other heavy-duty industrial environments. The "Other" designation signifies that these motors do not fall into any more specific subcategories based on application or unique design features that are separately enumerated within the HTS.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification at this level is determined by meeting the criteria of being an AC multi-phase motor, having an output exceeding 75 kW, and falling below the 149.2 kW threshold, while not being classified under more specific provisions, such as those for civil aircraft. This ensures that a broad range of powerful, general-purpose industrial AC motors are accurately accounted for.
