SITCSection 7
U.S. imports of electric motors with output not exceeding 37.5 w (SITC 71610) totaled $192.3M in April 2026, traded with 60 countries.
Importers of Electric Motors with Output Not Exceeding 37.5 W paid $21.0M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 16% on $134.6M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataFractional-watt and sub-37.5 W electric motors serve as precision actuators in consumer electronics, medical devices, automotive subsystems, and industrial automation, making this a high-volume, widely traded commodity. Section 301 tariffs have materially affected sourcing economics for motors originating from China, prompting many importers to evaluate supply diversification into Southeast Asia and Mexico. The output threshold of 37.5 W is the operative classification boundary: motors at or below this rating fall here, while higher-output units move to separate SITC headings.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Classification is based on the motor's rated continuous output power as specified by the manufacturer, not peak or stall torque. Importers should ensure that technical datasheets or nameplates clearly state the rated output in watts, as CBP may request this documentation to verify the correct heading.
Common approaches include qualifying alternative suppliers in Vietnam, Thailand, or Mexico, restructuring assembly operations so that substantial transformation occurs outside China, and applying for Section 301 exclusions where available. Each strategy carries its own classification and rules-of-origin implications that should be reviewed with a licensed customs broker.
