U.S. imports of dc motors & generators, output exceeding 750 w but not exceeding 75 kw (HS 850132) totaled $50.6M in July 2026, traded with 59 countries.
Importers of DC Motors & Generators, Output Exceeding 750 W but Not Exceeding 75 kW paid $4.1M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 15% on $28.5M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataMid-range DC motors and generators in the 750 W–75 kW output band serve industrial automation, material handling, and — notably — electric vehicle propulsion: tariff line 8501324500 specifically covers electric motors serving as the mechanical power source for passenger vehicles classified under headings 8703.40–8703.80, reflecting the EV supply chain's growing footprint. Civil aircraft applications are carved out at 8501325520, requiring FAA-related documentation at entry. Mexico and Japan are the leading suppliers, with Germany a significant source of precision industrial units.

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.
