Alternative Classifications

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

8536.20.00Higher: 37.7% vs 35%

If sold without integrated overload relay

Pure contactors without starter functions fall under other switches, lacking motor protection features.

8537.10.91Higher: 52.7% vs 35%

If for voltages exceeding 1,000V

Motor starters rated over 1,000V are classified in heading 8537 for higher voltage apparatus.

8504.40.95Same rate: 35%

If sold as complete power packs with transformer

Static converters including motor starters move to heading 8504 when functioning as power supplies.

Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify UL or CSA listing for motor starters to meet U.S. electrical safety standards and avoid CBP holds

• Include detailed motor ratings (HP, voltage, phase) in commercial invoice to confirm classification under 8536.50.40.00

• Avoid misclassification as general contactors (8536.20); provide spec sheets showing integrated overload protection
