8503.00.35.00 - For motors of under 18.65 W

This HTS classification covers stators and rotors that are specifically designed for use with electric motors falling under heading 8501, provided those motors have a power output of under 18.65 watts. These components are essential parts of small electric motors, such as those found in portable electronic devices, small appliances, or automotive accessories. The key defining characteristic for this subcategory is the wattage limitation of the motor for which the stator or rotor is intended.

This category can be distinguished from its sibling categories by its focus on stators and rotors for motors under a specific wattage threshold. Sibling category 8503.00.45.00 specifically addresses stators and rotors for generators intended for aircraft, a distinct application and power generation function. Category 8503.00.65.00, "Other," serves as a residual category for stators and rotors not meeting the specific criteria of the preceding subcategories, including those for motors exceeding the 18.65-watt limit or for other types of machinery not covered by heading 8501.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories for this specific classification. Therefore, classification within 8503.00.35.00 hinges entirely on confirming that the stator or rotor is intended for an electric motor with a power rating below 18.65 watts, aligning with the overall scope of parts for machines of heading 8501.
