For something like an electric motor you will want a freight forwarder experienced with lithium battery regulations these are classified as dangerous goods and need proper documentation like MSDS sheets and UN38.3 test reports from the supplier.

Make sure your forwarder handles customs clearance on the US side and can confirm the item clears FCC or other compliance requirements before it ships.

Tampa has good port access so delivery should not be an issue once it clears customs.

Ask your supplier for the HS code of the product before booking your forwarder will need it and it determines your import duty rate.
