Overview
HTS Code 9902.16.14 represents a highly specific classification for submersible multi-phase motors. These motors are designed for integration with pumps and are characterized by their cylindrical shape. Key defining physical attributes include a diameter ranging from over 22 cm to 35 cm and a length between 150 cm and 230 cm. Critically, their power output must fall within the narrow band of exceeding 149.2 kW but not exceeding 150 kW. This category is distinct from other electrical machinery classifications due to its precise dimensional, power, and application requirements, specifically for submersible pump applications.
This particular HTS code is located within Chapter 99, which houses temporary legislation and special provisions. Unlike the broader categories found in Chapters 1-97 that classify goods based on their intrinsic nature and material, Chapter 99 codes often reflect temporary trade agreements, import restrictions, or specific policy-driven classifications. Therefore, 9902.16.14 is not directly comparable to sibling HTS codes like those for live animals (Chapters 01). Its existence signifies a specific, potentially time-limited, regulatory treatment for these specialized motors, often linked to provisions under trade agreements or other special import directives.
As a leaf node, HTS code 9902.16.14 does not have subcategories. This indicates that the detailed criteria provided in its description—shape, dimensions, power output, and intended use with pumps—are the definitive factors for its classification. Any submersible multi-phase motor that meets all these specific parameters will fall under this code, while motors with different dimensions, power outputs, or intended applications would be classified elsewhere within the HTS. The classification emphasizes a precise technical profile for a niche industrial component.
