U.S. imports of dc motors & generators, output exceeding 75 kw but not exceeding 375 kw (HS 850133) totaled $1.9M in April 2026, traded with 25 countries.
Importers of DC Motors & Generators, Output Exceeding 75 kW but Not Exceeding 375 kW paid $229K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 14% on $1.7M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. DC Motors & Generators, Output Exceeding 75 kW but Not Exceeding 375 kW imports of $1.9M in April 2026 ran 61% below the year-to-date monthly average of $4.9M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataHeavy-duty DC motors in the 75–375 kW range are workhorses of industrial drives, crane systems, and large-scale process equipment, where precise torque control at high power levels is essential. Germany leads US imports under this heading — reflecting the strength of European industrial motor manufacturers — followed by Canada and Japan. The US schedule draws classification boundaries at 149.2 kW, 150 kW, 373 kW, and 375 kW, so nameplate ratings near these thresholds require careful verification to avoid misclassification across lines 8501332000 through 8501336100.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The multiple breakpoints — at 149.2 kW, 150 kW, 373 kW, and 375 kW — reflect historical tariff negotiations and the need to align US lines with international HS subdivisions while accommodating specific duty treatments for certain power bands. Motors with nameplate ratings near these thresholds should be classified based on the manufacturer's rated continuous output, and importers should obtain technical datasheets to support the declared classification.
Yes. Line 8501332040 covers DC motors greater than 75 kW but less than 149.2 kW specifically for use on civil aircraft. Motors in the higher sub-ranges of this heading do not have a dedicated civil aircraft line, so classification for those applications would fall under the general NESOI provisions, and end-use documentation remains important.
