DC Motors & Generators, Output Exceeding 750 W but Not Exceeding 75 kW

Line 8501324500 is reserved for electric motors that serve as the primary mechanical power source for electric and hybrid passenger vehicles classified under HTS headings 8703.40 through 8703.80. This carve-out reflects the EV drivetrain supply chain and may carry different duty treatment than general-purpose DC motors in the same watt range — importers should verify current rates and any applicable trade-remedy exposure.

Motors entered under the civil aircraft provision (8501325520) generally require documentation demonstrating the goods are destined for use on civil aircraft, consistent with the Civil Aircraft Agreement. This typically includes a signed end-use certification or purchase order referencing the aircraft application, and importers should coordinate with their customs broker to ensure the declaration meets CBP requirements.
