HS Code for Ceiling fan

Ceiling fans are classified under HS code 8414.51. This code is part of Chapter 84, which deals with nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery, and mechanical appliances. Heading 8414 covers air or vacuum pumps, air or other gas compressors, and fans. The subheading 8414.51 is specifically for table, floor, wall, window, ceiling, or roof fans that incorporate a self-contained electric motor with an output not exceeding 125 Watts. The classification is determined by two primary factors: the physical design (intended for ceiling mounting) and the power rating of the integrated motor. Most residential ceiling fans fall comfortably within this 125W limit. If a fan is imported with an integrated light fixture, it is still generally classified here under General Rule of Interpretation (GRI) 3(b), as the fan provides the essential character of the composite object, provided the motor does not exceed the wattage threshold.

Products Included

Common Misclassification

The most common misclassification is using 8414.59, which is for "other" fans. This code should only be used if the ceiling fan's motor exceeds 125 Watts, which is rare for household models but common for large-scale industrial High-Volume Low-Speed (HVLS) fans. Another error is classifying the item under 9405 as a lighting fixture. While many fans have lights, the mechanical air-circulating function usually defines the product's classification unless the light is the dominant feature and the fan is incidental.
