About HS Code 841013
This category covers hydraulic turbines and water wheels with a power output exceeding 10000kW, representing the largest and most powerful machines used in major hydropower plants. These colossal turbines are critical components of national energy grids and large-scale pumped-storage facilities, requiring immense capital investment and long project cycles. International trade is dominated by a few global engineering and manufacturing giants, with importers being national governments, large utility companies, and international consortia undertaking massive infrastructure projects. Key considerations include unparalleled efficiency, extreme durability, and the ability to withstand immense forces over decades of operation, making these some of the most complex and high-value pieces of machinery traded globally.
Products Under This Code

Real World Examples
Three Gorges Dam turbines, Itaipu Dam turbines, Grand Coulee Dam turbines (manufactured by Voith Hydro, Andritz Hydro, GE Renewable Energy)
Common Misclassification
Can be confused with 841012 (medium power) or 8411 (gas turbines), but 841013 is specifically for high-power hydraulic turbines, distinguishing them by scale and application.
Products Classified Under 8410.13
Industry
This code belongs to the Electronics & Electrical Equipment industry.
Trade Overview
Countries with large hydropower projects like China, Brazil, Canada, Russia, and the USA are dominant in the trade of these massive turbines.
