Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If specifically designed for crane or hoist hoisting mechanisms
Motors integral to crane/hoist systems fall under dedicated subheading regardless of power output.
If AC motor rather than DC
Power source determines heading; AC motors >750W but ≤75kW go to 8501.52.
If output exceeds 75kW
Higher power DC motors shift to universal motor category in 8501.10.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify motor output rating with manufacturer specs; customs requires precise power documentation to confirm 750W-75kW range
• Include CE marking or UL certification for electrical safety compliance; lack of safety labels can delay clearance
• Declare exact NEMA frame size and voltage to prevent reclassification as fractional horsepower motors
