HS Code 8807.20 – Aircraft and spacecraft; under-carriages and parts thereof
HS code 8807.20 is the 6-digit subheading for aircraft and spacecraft, under-carriages and parts thereof. It is used for aircraft landing gear assemblies, nose landing gear, main landing gear, landing gear struts and wheels for aircraft.
What HS 8807.20 covers
This category encompasses under-carriages and their parts for aircraft and spacecraft, which are absolutely critical for the safe operation of these complex machines during take-off, landing, and ground maneuvers. These high-value components are traded internationally within the highly specialized aerospace industry. Importers are typically aircraft manufacturers, MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul) facilities, and airlines requiring replacement parts for their fleets. Exporters are specialized aerospace component manufacturers, often concentrated in countries with advanced aerospace engineering capabilities. Key trade considerations include stringent safety certifications (e.g., FAA, EASA), the use of advanced materials (high-strength alloys, composites), precision engineering, the integration of complex hydraulic and braking systems, and strict compliance with international aviation standards. These components are technologically sophisticated and have long service lives.

Codes often confused with 8807.20
Common mistake. Can be confused with 880330 (other parts of airplanes or helicopters) if the specific function as under-carriage is not identified, or 880710 (propellers and rotors) if the focus is on propulsion rather than landing.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 880720, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 880720 in UN Comtrade data was France, with 25% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the United Kingdom, with 14% of world imports. The United States reports $152.8B of its chapter 88 exports without product detail (confidential), so it may also belong among the top exporters.

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).

Which countries are the top exporters of goods under HS code 880720?
In 2025, the top exporters of HS code 880720 in UN Comtrade data were France ($2.4B, 25% of world exports), the United Kingdom ($1.9B) and Canada ($1.1B). World exports came to about $9.5B, adding countries' reported figures and partner-based estimates for those that did not report (UN Comtrade data). The United States reports $152.8B of its chapter 88 exports without product detail (confidential), so it may also belong among the top exporters.
Which countries are the top importers of goods under HS code 880720?
In 2025, the top importers of HS code 880720 in UN Comtrade data were the United Kingdom ($1.7B, 14% of world imports), the United States ($1.6B) and France ($1.5B). World imports came to about $11.9B, adding countries' reported figures and partner-based estimates for those that did not report (UN Comtrade data). Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.
How is HS code 880720 structured?
HS code 880720 is a 6-digit subheading under the Harmonized System. The first 2 digits (88) identify the chapter, digits 3-4 (07) identify the heading, and digits 5-6 (20) specify the subheading. This code is standardized globally by the World Customs Organization.
What is the Brazil NCM code for HS code 880720?
In Brazil, HS code 880720 is NCM 8807.20.00. The last two digits are 00 because Brazil does not split this HS code further.
