Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If imported as part of a complete grinding machine
The motor would be classified with the machine it powers if presented together as a functional unit.
If the motor is an AC motor exceeding 750 W but not exceeding 75 kW
Electric motors are classified under heading 85.01 when presented separately and not solely for a specific machine.

The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right tariff item — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the motor is declared as a separate unit, not as part of the grinding machine, to qualify for this tariff item
• Provide a detailed technical description to the CBSA to avoid misclassification
• Verify if the motor qualifies for duty-free treatment under a free trade agreement
