Last updated: August 2026 dataReplacement components for the broad range of self-contained electric motor domestic appliances — spanning everything from bread machine drive gears to ice cream maker paddles — are consolidated under this parts heading. Because the parent appliances span a wide product range, parts classification here requires confirming that the component is dedicated to a domestic electromechanical appliance rather than to an industrial machine or a more specifically enumerated appliance category with its own parts heading. Supply chains for these parts are often deeply integrated with Chinese manufacturing, and Section 301 tariff applicability should be assessed at the specific HTS level for each part type.

When a part is suitable for use with both domestic and commercial equipment, classification typically follows the machine it is principally designed for, based on design specifications, marketing materials, and the manufacturer's intended application. Parts designed and sold exclusively for domestic appliances belong here; genuinely dual-use parts may require a ruling from CBP to resolve the ambiguity.
A motor sub-assembly imported as a dedicated spare part for a specific domestic appliance is generally classifiable as an appliance part under this heading. A general-purpose electric motor not specifically adapted for domestic appliance use would typically be classified under the applicable electric motor heading. Specificity of design and commercial documentation are the key factors.
