HS Code 8411.21 – Turbo-propellers; of a power not exceeding 1100kW
HS code 8411.21 is the 6-digit subheading for turbo-propellers, of a power not exceeding 1100kW. It is used for small turboprop engines, regional aircraft engines, utility aircraft engines, agricultural aircraft engines and single-engine turboprops.
What HS 8411.21 covers
This category encompasses turbo-propeller engines with a power output not exceeding 1100kW, commonly used in regional aircraft, utility planes, agricultural aircraft, and some business aircraft. These engines are valued for their fuel efficiency at lower altitudes and speeds, making them ideal for short-haul flights and operations from unpaved runways. International trade in these engines is driven by regional aviation needs, specialized aerial services, and general aviation markets. Importers include regional airlines, aircraft manufacturers specializing in smaller planes, and private operators. Exporters are leading aerospace engine manufacturers. Key considerations include robust design for diverse operating conditions, reliability, and cost-effectiveness for operators, supporting vital air links in many parts of the world.

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).
