HS 2022 subheading

HS code 8503.00: Electric motor parts

HS code 8503.00 covers: Electric motors and generators; parts suitable for use solely or principally with the machines of heading no. 8501 or 8502. It is a subheading of heading 8503, in chapter 85.

Where 8503.00 sits in the tariff

The first six digits are the same in every country that uses the Harmonized System. Countries and regions add their own digits after them.

  1. Chapter

    85 Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof; sound recorders and reproducers; television image and sound recorders and reproducers, parts and accessories of such articles

  2. Heading

    8503Parts suitable for use solely or principally with the machines of heading 8501 or 8502

  3. Subheading

    8503.00 Electric motors and generators; parts suitable for use solely or principally with the machines of heading no. 8501 or 8502

How tariffs divide 8503.00 further

National and regional tariffs add digits after the six shared ones, splitting this subheading into more specific lines. The tables list every line we hold for 8503.00 in this language, in each publisher's own wording.
