Code 8503 00 · Heading 8503

Other parts mainly or exclusively for electric motors, generators, generator sets or rotating converters

This code covers parts used exclusively or mainly with electric motors, electric generators, electric generator sets or rotating electrical converters when no more specific child category names them. It excludes the specifically listed shaft rings, laminations and stator or rotor cores, and parts of cast iron or cast steel.

For example

  • An aluminium housing used mainly for an electric motor, not a shaft ring, lamination, stator core, rotor core or a cast-iron or cast-steel part
  • A copper connection part used mainly for an electric generator, not a shaft ring, lamination, stator core, rotor core or a cast-iron or cast-steel part
