U.S.-Uganda Trade Agreement Boosts Submersible Motor Exports
A new trade agreement between the United States and Uganda has facilitated the export of submersible multi-phase motors (HS 8501.53.60) used with pumps. The agreement reduces tariffs on industrial equipment, including motors with specific dimensions and power output (diameter 22-35 cm, length 150-230 cm, power 149.2-150 kW).

Impact: This agreement is expected to increase U.S. exports of submersible motors to Uganda by 15% over the next year, strengthening bilateral trade in industrial machinery.
Uganda Increases Demand for U.S.-Made Submersible Motors
Uganda's growing agricultural sector has led to a surge in demand for high-powered submersible motors for irrigation pumps. U.S. manufacturers of motors under HS 8501.53.60 are seeing increased orders due to their compliance with specified size and power requirements.

Impact: U.S. exporters are likely to see a steady rise in demand from Uganda, potentially increasing market share in East Africa for this specific motor category.
Logistics Challenges Impact U.S.-Uganda Motor Trade
Recent shipping delays at key East African ports have slowed the delivery of U.S.-made submersible multi-phase motors (HS 8501.53.60) to Uganda. These motors, critical for water pump systems, are facing backlog issues despite steady production.
