HS Code 8411.11 – Turbo-jets; of a thrust not exceeding 25kN
HS code 8411.11 is the 6-digit subheading for turbo-jets, of a thrust not exceeding 25kN. It is used for small turbojet engines, micro-jet engines, UAV propulsion systems, target drone engines and APU turbojets.
What HS 8411.11 covers
This category covers turbo-jet engines with a thrust not exceeding 25kN, typically found in smaller, specialized applications. This includes propulsion for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), target drones, small experimental aircraft, and auxiliary power units (APUs) for larger aircraft. The international trade in these engines is a niche, high-technology market, often driven by defense contracts, aerospace research and development, and specialized commercial applications. Importers and exporters are usually aerospace manufacturers, defense contractors, and R&D institutions. Key considerations include compact design, high power-to-weight ratio, and advanced control systems, reflecting the cutting-edge nature of this segment within the aerospace industry.

Codes often confused with 8411.11
Common mistake. Can be confused with 841112 (larger turbo-jets) or 8802 (complete aircraft), but 841111 is specifically for low-thrust turbo-jet engines, not the entire aircraft.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 841111, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 841111 in UN Comtrade data was Canada, with 30% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 26% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
