Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If imported with the truing machine as a complete unit
The motor would be part of the machine and classified under the heading for machine tools for working stone or similar materials.
If the motor is an AC motor exceeding 75 kW
Larger electric motors are classified under heading 85.01 when presented separately.

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
• Classify the motor separately from the truing machine if imported alone
• Keep documentation showing the motor's specific use in semiconductor manufacturing
• Check for any applicable duty relief programs for semiconductor equipment
