π§ 5-Blade Wire Stripper Motor
π HS Code Reference & Customs Clearance Guide | 2026 Latest Tariff Analysis | Professional Clearance Strategy π 1. Product Definition & Classification: What is a "5-Blade Wire Stripper Motor"?
A Wire Stripper Motor is a power-assisted attachment or integral component of an industrial or handheld wire stripping machine. The "5-Blade" designation typically refers to a high-capacity, automated rotary stripping head capable of processing multiple wires simultaneously or handling thicker/bulkier cable assemblies.
In international trade, the classification depends heavily on function and parts status:
- Core Component: It is a motor designed to drive tools for working in the hand (specifically wire strippers, which are tools for working on materials like wire, cable, or similar substrates).
- Classification Logic: According to the Harmonized System (HS), motors that are specifically for "tools for working in the hand... and parts thereof" fall under Heading 84.67.
- Specific Subheading: Since this is a motor intended to drive a stripping tool (a type of hand-held or bench-top power tool), and it is listed as a "Part," it is classified under 84.67.99 (Parts).
β οΈ Key Distinction:
- If it is a complete wire stripping machine (with housing, control box, feeder), it might fall under 84.79 (Machines for working on metals) or 84.67 (Power tools).
- However, the query specifies "Motor" as a component. Therefore, it is classified as a Part of a power tool under 84.67.99.
π¦ 2. HS Code Classification Details (2026 Latest Tariff Authority)
Based on the provided <DATA> and standard HS tariff structures for power tool parts:
| HS Code | Product Description | Application | Tax Rate (China to US) |
|---|---|---|---|
8467.99.01.90 |
Tools for working in the hand, pneumatic, hydraulic or with self-contained electric or nonelectric motor, and parts thereof: Parts: Other | General Power Tool Parts (including motors for wire strippers not specifically exempted) | 25.0% |
8467.99.01.30 |
Tools for working in the hand, pneumatic, hydraulic or with self-contained electric or nonelectric motor, and parts thereof: Parts: Other Of gasoline powered grass and weed trimmers and brushcutters | Specific to Grass Trimmers | 25.0% |
π Critical Analysis for
8467.99.01.90vs.8467.99.01.30: -8467.99.01.30is ONLY for parts of gasoline-powered grass and weed trimmers. - A Wire Stripper is NOT a grass trimmer. Therefore,8467.99.01.30is INCORRECT. -8467.99.01.90is the correct "Other" category for parts of power tools (including electric wire strippers) that do not fit into the specific gasoline trimmer category. - Conclusion: The correct HS Code is8467.99.01.90.π Important Note:
- Do not use8467.99.01.30even if the motor looks similar to trimmer motors. The end-use (wire stripping vs. cutting grass) determines the classification. - If the motor is a general-purpose electric motor not specifically for hand tools, it might fall under 8501 (Electric motors), but since it is described as a "Wire Stripper Motor," it is typically sold as a part of the stripping tool, thus falling under 84.67.

π Explanation:
- The<DATA>provided explicitly states:
"tax_detail":"εΊη‘ε ³η¨: 0.0%, ε εΎε ³η¨: 25.0%","total_tax":"25.0%"
- This means the total applicable tariff rate is 25.0%.
- Do not add the IEEPA 10% unless your customs broker specifically instructs you to, as the provided data source indicates a total of 25%. This may imply that the 25% includes all applicable additional duties for this specific HS code in the source system.
- Critical: For Section 301 goods, the de minimis exemption (under 800/2500 rules) is generally not available for most China-origin goods, meaning small shipments are also subject to this 25% tax.
π οΈ 4. Customs Clearance Practical Advice (Real-World Pitfall Guide)
β 1. Preparation Checklist (Essential Documents)
| Document | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| β Product Specification Sheet | βοΈ | Must clearly state: "Electric Motor for Wire Stripping," "5-Blade Rotary Head," "Voltage," "Power (Watts)," "No." of Blades. |
| β Part Number & OEM Reference | βοΈ | Show that it is a replacement part for a specific wire stripping tool. |
| β Product Photos | βοΈ | Clear images of the motor, label (with voltage/power), and the 5-blade assembly if integrated. |
| β Commercial Invoice | βοΈ | Describe as: "Motor Parts for Wire Stripping Machine, 5-Blade, Electric, Model XYZ" |
| β Packing List | βοΈ | Itemize motors separately if shipped in bulk. |
| β Avoid | βοΈ | Do not describe as "Grass Trimmer Motor" or "Lawn Tool Part" β this will lead to misclassification and potential penalties. |
β 2. Declaration Strategy (Key Tips)
π₯ "Describe by Function, Not Just 'Motor'!"
| Scenario | Correct Declaration | Incorrect Declaration |
|---|---|---|
| Motor for Wire Stripper | "Parts for electric wire stripping tool, motor, 5-blade rotary type" |
"Electric Motor" (Too vague β may fall under 8501 with different duties) |
| Motor for Grass Trimmer | "Parts for gasoline grass trimmer" |
"Parts for power tool" (Incorrect β 84.67 may not apply) |
| Complete Wire Stripper | "Electric Wire Stripping Machine" |
"Motor" (Under-declaring β evasion risk) |
π Advice:
- If the motor is sold with the wire stripping head, declare it as a complete tool if possible, as the tax rate for complete tools may differ.
- If sold as a spare part, declare as "Part of Wire Stripping Machine".
β 3. Special Considerations
| Situation | Handling Advice |
|---|---|
| OEM/Aftermarket | Provide OEM invoice or proof of compatibility to justify "Part" classification. |
| Hydraulic/Pneumatic? | If the motor drives a hydraulic/pneumatic stripper, still 84.67.99.01.90. |
| Gasoline Engine? | If it's a small gasoline engine inside a wire stripper (rare), it might be 84.07 or 84.31, but most wire strippers are electric. |
| China Origin | 25% Tariff is unavoidable. Plan for this in cost modeling. |

About HS Code Classification
The Harmonized System (HS) is an internationally standardized nomenclature developed by the World Customs Organization (WCO) to classify traded products. Over 200 countries use the HS system as the basis for customs tariffs, trade statistics, and import/export regulations.
Each HS code follows a hierarchical structure:
- Chapter (2 digits) β Broad category of goods (e.g., Chapter 84: Machinery and Mechanical Appliances)
- Heading (4 digits) β More specific grouping within the chapter
- Subheading (6 digits) β Internationally standardized breakdown, used by all WCO member countries
- National subdivisions (8-10 digits) β Country-specific extensions for further classification, such as US HTSUS 10-digit codes
Correct HS code classification is essential for smooth customs clearance, accurate duty payment, and compliance with trade regulations. Misclassification can lead to customs delays, overpayment of duties, or penalties.
When importing from CN to US, the applicable tariff rates may include:
- Most-Favored-Nation (MFN) rate β The standard duty rate applied to WTO members
- General rate β Applied to countries without trade agreements
- Trade remedy duties β Additional tariffs such as Section 301 (anti-dumping), Section 232 (national security), or countervailing duties
