Import Tips & Compliance

Declare motor power exclusive of gearbox ratio; Customs evaluates electrical output only for 8501.10

Include gearbox torque specs but classify primarily by motor characteristics

Avoid pitfall of 8483 classification—gearmotors remain motors if electric motor provides principal function
