Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

8501.10.40.20Lower: 39.4% vs 41.7%

If output between 18.65W and 37.5W

Higher power synchronous motors shift to 8501.10.40 subheading based on output threshold.

8501.10.60Lower: 37.8% vs 41.7%

If valued over $4 each

Value threshold determines subheading within low-power synchronous motors.

8479.89.65.00Lower: 20.3% vs 41.7%

If imported as part of complete clock mechanism

Clock movements assembled with gears may classify as machines/parts rather than individual motors.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify motor output does not exceed 18.65W and unit value under $4 with commercial invoice and test reports

Include CE or UL certification if destined for consumer clocks to meet safety standards

Avoid misclassification as stepper motors; synchronous motors must maintain constant speed without feedback
