Compliance regimes on this code
Beyond the duty rate, these EU regimes attach to this code. Each verdict follows from the code alone; the goods themselves can still fall outside a regime.
Indicative correlation only. The mapping from customs codes to dual-use control codes is guidance, not a classification. Whether an item is controlled depends on its technical parameters.

Notes that govern this classification
Erläuterungen zur Kombinierten Nomenklatur (KN) (entfallen) Hierher gehören z. B. Elektromotoren für Scheibenwischer, ohne Wischarm und Wischblatt, jedoch mit den für die Umwandlung der Drehbewegung in eine Pendelbewegung erforderlichen Kraftübertragungsvorrichtungen (Stirnradgetriebe und hin- und hergehende Stange).
Erläuterungen zum Harmonisierten System (HS) I) Elektromotoren Elektromotoren setzen elektrische Energie in mechanische Energie um. Zu dieser Gruppe gehören rotierende Motoren und lineare Motoren. A) Rotierende Elektromotoren erzeugen mechanische Energie in Form einer Drehbewegung. Es gibt zahlreiche Arten von rotierenden Elektromotoren, deren Merkmale voneinander abweichen, je nachdem, ob sie mit Gleichstrom oder Wechselstrom gespeist werden und je nach dem Verwendungszweck, für den sie gebaut sind. Bei manchen Motoren ist das Gehäuse der Umgebung, in der sie zu arbeiten haben, besonders angepasst, z. B. um sie gegen Staub und Feuchtigkeit zu schützen (so genannte gekapselte Motoren) oder auch um Brand- und Explosionsgefahr auszuschließen (Motoren mit schlagwettersicherem Gehäuse). …

Frequently asked questions
What does customs tariff code 8501.10.99.50 cover?
Code 8501.10.99.50 covers Electric (DC) motor powering height adjusting with: -a rated output mechanical power not exceeding 35 W, -frame integration with a length of 156 mm, a height of 59 mm, a thickness of 36 mm and a weight of 500 g, -a stall torque of 45 Nm and ultimate torque of 200 Nm, -a maximum current of 15 A, -no load speed of 7 RPM or more but not more than 10 RPM, -a rotation speed of 4 000 RPM or more but not more than 5 600 RPM, -a maximum noise level of 42 dB(A), -a maximum angular backlash up to 3 degrees, and -a 8 tooth pinion module, for use in the manufacture of automotive components for car's seats. Classification turns on the material, function, and intended use of the goods, not on their trade name.
What is the duty rate for 8501.10.99.50?
The third-country duty rate for 8501.10.99.50 is 2.7 %. Goods originating in a country with a preferential agreement may qualify for a lower rate against valid proof of origin.
What is the HS code for 8501.10.99.50?
The first six digits form the HS code: 850110. Those are uniform worldwide, while the further digits carry the EU Combined Nomenclature and the national subdivision.
How many digits does 8501.10.99.50 have?
8501.10.99.50 has ten digits and carries the EU measures held in TARIC. A German import declaration requires the eleven-digit commodity code.
Where does 8501.10.99.50 sit in the tariff?
8501.10.99.50 sits in this hierarchy: 85 ELECTRICAL MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT AND PARTS THEREOF; SOUND RECORDERS AND REPRODUCERS, TELEVISION IMAGE AND SOUND RECORDERS AND REPRODUCERS, AND PARTS AND ACCESSORIES OF SUCH ARTICLES > 8501 Electric motors and generators (excluding generating sets) > 850110 Motors of an output not exceeding 37,5 W > 85011099 DC motors. The parent headings and their notes help decide whether the classification holds.
Is there binding tariff information for 8501.10.99.50?
The EBTI database currently holds no valid decisions on 8501.10.99.50. Comparable cases are found through the parent heading instead.
What happens if the customs tariff code is wrong?
An incorrect code leads to post-clearance recovery of duty and import VAT, delays at clearance, and a penalty where it repeats. A classification with documented reasoning can be defended in an audit.
Is 8501.10.99.50 a dual-use item?
The customs code alone does not decide that. An indicative correlation links 8501.10.99.50 to 7A001, 7A002, 7A003, 7A004, 7A101, 7A102, 7A103, 7A104. Whether your item is listed depends on its technical parameters and has to be checked against the wording of the control list.
Does customs tariff code 8501.10.99.50 change?
8501.10.99.50 is currently valid. The Combined Nomenclature is amended every 1 January, so master data should be checked against the current tariff annually.
