Parts suitable for use solely or principally with the machines of heading 8501 or 8502
11 declarable lines
Heading 8503 covers parts suitable for use solely or principally with electric motors and generators of heading 8501 or with electric generating sets and rotary converters of heading 8502. The lines first separate commutators and stators or rotors, then break out remaining parts by motor size, aircraft generator use, motor use, generator use, wind-powered generating set use, and residual other.
Products in this heading
- Commutators for electric motors
- Stators for motors under 18.65 W
- Rotors for generators suitable for use on aircraft
- Stators and rotors for other heading 8501 machines
- Parts of electric motors
- Parts of AC generators (alternators)
- Parts of wind-powered generating sets
How to choose the right subheading
- Confirm the article is a part suitable solely or principally for a machine of heading 8501 or 8502; a complete motor, generator, generating set or rotary converter is not in 8503.
- Decide whether the part is a commutator, a stator or rotor, or another part.
- For stators, rotors and other parts, check whether the part is for a motor under 18.65 W, a generator suitable for use on aircraft, or another use.
- For other parts, decide whether it is a part of a motor, a part of a generator, a part of a wind-powered generating set, or residual other.
- For generator parts, check whether the part is for the AC generators (alternators) described in the generator parts breakout or for other generators.
Often confused with
- Heading 8501Complete electric motors and generators
Complete machines are classified in heading 8501, not as parts of machines.
- Heading 8502Electric generating sets and rotary converters
Complete generating sets and rotary converters are classified in heading 8502.
- Heading 8504Parts of transformers, static converters and inductors
These parts are classified with the apparatus of heading 8504, not as motor or generator parts.
- Heading 8545Carbon brushes for electrical machines
Carbon brushes are specifically provided for in heading 8545.
