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

Classification of electric fan under HS 8414.51

Electric fans intended for domestic or general office use are classified under HS code 8414.51. This classification is part of heading 8414, which covers air or vacuum pumps, air or other gas compressors, and fans. Subheading 8414.51 is specifically reserved 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 logic follows the physical design and the power rating of the motor. If the fan is designed for permanent installation or portable use in a residential environment and stays within the 125W threshold, it must be classified here. This code excludes industrial blowers or heavy-duty ventilation systems that exceed the specified wattage or are designed for specialized industrial processes. The classification is based on GRI 1, focusing on the specific description of the fan's placement (e.g., ceiling or table) and its electrical capacity.

Codes often confused with 8414.51

Common mistake. The most frequent misclassification is using HS code 8414.59, which is for \"other\" fans. This code should only be used if the fan's motor output exceeds 125 watts or if it is not one of the types listed in 8414.51 (like industrial centrifugal fans). Additionally, fans that are part of air conditioning units are classified under 8415.10, as they provide more than just air movement by also controlling temperature and humidity.

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).
