8501.52

Analysis

Subheading 8501.52 covers of an output exceeding 750 W but not exceeding 75 kW, within heading 8501. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 2 US tariff lines below it are national.

1 of its 2 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (50%) and 1 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 3.7%. The median line pays 1.85%.

The US splits it as follows: 8501.52.40 for exceeding 750 W but not exceeding 14.92 kW (3.7%) and 8501.52.80 for of an output exceeding 750 W but not exceeding 75 kW: other (duty-free).

By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Motor and Generator Manufacturing (335312). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.

Goods only reach 8501.52 once they fall within heading 8501 (electric motors and generators (excluding generating sets)). Under General Rule 6, subheadings are then compared only with others at the same level, so a product is matched against its siblings, not against lines elsewhere in the chapter.
