Summary
HS code 8501.10 covers motors of an output not exceeding 37.5 W. It sits in heading 85.01 (electric motors and generators (excluding generating sets)) in chapter 85 (electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof; sound recorders and reproducers, television image and sound recorders and reproducers, and parts and accessories of such articles). Other goods of heading 85.01 are classified under 8501.20 (universal AC/DC motors of an output exceeding 37.5 W), 8501.31 (other DC motors; DC generators, other than photovoltaic generators, of an output not exceeding 750 W), 8501.32 (other DC motors; DC generators, other than photovoltaic generators, of an output exceeding 750 W but not exceeding 75 kW), 8501.33 (other DC motors; DC generators, other than photovoltaic generators, of an output exceeding 75 kW but not exceeding 375 kW) or 12 others. National tariff lines under 8501.10 are live on border.bot for the United States (9 lines, also used by 1 other country).
