Of an output exceeding 750 W but not exceeding 75 kW: generators
Analysis
HTS 8501.32.61 covers of an output exceeding 750 W but not exceeding 75 kW: generators under heading 8501 (electric motors and generators (excluding generating sets)).
Within this group the rate runs from duty-free to 2.9%. Compared with 8501.32.55 (other: other), which pays duty-free, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 2 percentage points.
The general duty rate is 2% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 85 (61st percentile of 624 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $200 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 35%, 17.5 times the general rate.
Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Automotive Products Trade Act, the Bahrain FTA, the civil aircraft agreement, and 14 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 2%. It is also eligible under GSP, the developing-country programme, which Congress has to renew; check whether GSP is in force on the entry date.
