U.S. imports of multi-phase ac motors, output exceeding 750 w but not exceeding 75 kw (HS 850152) totaled $188.2M in April 2026, traded with 56 countries.
Importers of Multi-Phase AC Motors, Output Exceeding 750 W but Not Exceeding 75 kW paid $14.6M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 15% on $94.3M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataThree-phase AC motors in the 750 W–75 kW range are among the most widely traded electric machines globally, serving as the standard drive unit for pumps, fans, compressors, and machine tools across virtually every manufacturing sector. A dedicated civil aircraft provision at 8501528020 separates aerospace-destined units from general industrial motors (8501528040), and the heading also includes a lower sub-range line at 8501524000 for motors up to 14.92 kW. Mexico and Japan lead US supply, with Germany a key source of premium-efficiency industrial units.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The US Department of Energy (DOE) enforces minimum efficiency standards for general-purpose electric motors under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act. Motors in the 1–200 horsepower range (roughly 0.75–149 kW) that fall within DOE's scope must meet NEMA Premium or equivalent IE3 efficiency levels to be sold or offered for sale in the US. Importers should confirm that motors meet applicable DOE standards before entry, as non-compliant motors cannot be legally sold in the US market.
The 14.92 kW threshold (equivalent to 20 horsepower) divides the heading into two sub-ranges: 8501524000 for motors up to 14.92 kW, and 8501528000/8501528040 for motors above that level up to 75 kW. These lines may carry different duty rates, so accurate wattage documentation from the manufacturer is essential. Motors near the 14.92 kW boundary should be classified based on the manufacturer's rated continuous output.
