HS Code 8411.12 – Turbo-jets; of a thrust exceeding 25kN
HS code 8411.12 is the 6-digit subheading for turbo-jets, of a thrust exceeding 25kN. It is used for commercial aircraft turbojet engines, military fighter jet engines, large business jet engines, thrust reversers and engine nacelles.
What HS 8411.12 covers
This HS code covers turbo-jet engines with a thrust exceeding 25kN, which are the primary powerplants for most commercial airliners and military fighter jets. This is a high-value, strategically important sector of international trade, dominated by a few multinational aerospace giants. Importers are major aircraft manufacturers (like Boeing and Airbus), national airlines, and defense ministries, while exporters are the leading engine manufacturers. The trade involves complex contracts, long-term support agreements, and adherence to stringent international aviation safety and environmental regulations. These engines represent the pinnacle of aerospace engineering, with continuous innovation in fuel efficiency, noise reduction, and reliability being paramount for global competitiveness.

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).
