Motors, being made of Copper/Iron, are probably going to India or such.
Theres little or no import dutys on this classification because it provides lots of jobs for low paid workers to seperate the two metals, then more jobs turning these metals into usable steel, pipe, rebar,steel beams etc etc + the Copper manufacturing business..
Even from the start they are paying less than market prices for the Steel/Copper in this form.
So theres plenty of headroom in their price.
Imported products like Copper wire and steel beams have a high import tax on them, but don't provide anywhere near the amount of work and jobs that the scrap motors Steel/Copper does.
