Alternative Classifications

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

8501.40.20Lower: 53.3% vs 54%

If output exceeds 735W

Higher power AC motors fall into different output power subheadings within 8501.40

8483.50.60.00Lower: 37.8% vs 54%

If gearbox sold separately from motor

Gearboxes without integrated motors classify as transmission components, not gear motors

8501.10.40Lower: 39.4% vs 54%

If DC powered instead of AC

DC motors with gears use universal commutator but classify under DC motor headings

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify motor output rating with manufacturer's test data to confirm 74.6-735W range for this subheading

Include gearbox specifications in documentation; separate gears may classify under 8483

Ensure CE/UL markings for compliance; declare exact power rating to avoid reclassification
