Alternative Classifications

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

8501.10.40.20Higher: 39.4% vs 37.8%

If output under 18.65 W

Lower power DC motors fall into separate subheading regardless of brushless design.

8501.31.40.00Higher: 39% vs 37.8%

If AC powered instead of DC

AC brushless motors are classified under universal motor headings, not DC.

8414.59.30.00Higher: 52.3% vs 37.8%

If imported as complete cooling fan assembly

Assembled fans with motors are classified by function as electric fans, not separate motors.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify motor output with manufacturer specs (18.65-37.5W) and confirm brushless DC design via technical datasheets

Include detailed electrical ratings and application declarations to avoid misclassification as lower power motors

Check for RoHS compliance and prepare for potential CBP inspection of windings to confirm brushless construction
