HS code for Ceiling fan: 8414.51

Fans, table, floor, wall, window, ceiling or roof fans, with a self-contained electric motor of an output not exceeding 125W.

Classification of ceiling fan under HS 8414.51

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.

Codes often confused with 8414.51

Common mistake. 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.

How these figures are built

109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
