Companies manufacturing gears, gear products, and/or flexible couplings that do not have a manufacturing facility in the U.S., Canada, or Mexico.
Dues are based on the total worldwide sales (in U.S. dollars) of all gears, gear products and flexible couplings.
There are minimum and maximum dues caps: Minimum dues – $1,575 plus $.430/$1,000 on sales over $1 million Maximum dues – $14,000
To calculate your dues, conduct your own calculations or Use this Chart.
Calculate Your Own Dues
If your company’s sales volume for gears is $3 million, you would subtract $1 million.
Next, divide that amount by $1 million, i.e., $2 million/$1 million = 2.
Next, multiply that number by $430 and add the result to $1,575 for a total of $2,435 ($1,575 + $860 = $2,435).
For annual sales greater than $30,000,000, pay the maximum dues amount of $14,000.
