Last updated: April 2026 dataDC motors and generators rated above 375 kW represent the high end of the electric machine spectrum, used in steel mills, mining hoists, ship propulsion, and large-scale power generation. The heading is straightforward at the 10-digit level, splitting into just two lines — 8501343000 for motors and 8501346100 for generators — making the motor-versus-generator distinction the primary classification question. Germany is the leading US supplier, with Mexico and Sweden also significant sources, reflecting the concentration of large-machine manufacturing among a small number of specialized global producers.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Machines capable of functioning as both a motor and a generator are generally classified based on their principal function as presented for importation. If the principal function cannot be determined, CBP's General Rules of Interpretation and any applicable chapter notes guide classification. Importers should document the intended end use and consult a licensed customs broker when the primary function is ambiguous.
Germany, as an EU member state, is not currently subject to Section 301 tariffs, which target Chinese-origin goods. However, Section 232 measures have applied to certain steel and aluminum content in manufactured goods from EU countries, and their applicability to electric motors depends on product composition and applicable exclusions. Importers should verify current trade-remedy status with a customs broker before entry.
