Product classification
HS code for Aircraft fuselage: 8807.30
Aircraft and spacecraft, parts of aeroplanes, helicopters or unmanned aircraft n.e.c. in heading no. 8807.
Classification of aircraft fuselage under HS 8807.30
An aircraft fuselage is classified under HS code 880730 because it represents a major structural component of an aircraft, not elsewhere specified within the more specific subheadings of heading 8807. Chapter 88 of the Harmonized System covers aircraft, spacecraft, and parts thereof. Heading 8807 is dedicated to "Parts of aircraft of heading 8802 or 8806." The subheading 30 specifically includes "Other parts of aeroplanes, helicopters or unmanned aircraft." Since the fuselage is the primary body of an aircraft, housing the cockpit, cabin, and cargo, and is not a wing (880710) or landing gear (880720), it falls under this residual category for major structural parts.
- Covers
- Complete aircraft fuselages
- Fuselage sections (e.g., forward, mid, aft sections)
- Cockpit sections
- Cabin sections
- Structural frames and bulkheads of the fuselage
- Skin panels specifically designed for aircraft fuselages
- Tail sections (when considered an integral part of the main fuselage structure)
- Also under 8807.30
- Boeing 787 landing gear
- Airbus A320 wing parts
- Sikorsky Black Hawk rotor heads
- DJI drone chassis
- Honeywell avionics components
Codes often confused with 8807.30
Common mistake. Aircraft fuselages can be misclassified if their nature as a major aircraft part is not fully recognized. A common error is to classify a complete fuselage as a whole aircraft under HS code 8802, which is for complete aircraft, not their disassembled major components. Another potential misclassification could involve classifying the materials used in the fuselage, such as aluminum structures, under codes like HS code 7610. However, the specific design and sole purpose of a fuselage as an aircraft part mean that the more specific classification under 880730 takes precedence over general material classifications. It is crucial to distinguish between raw materials or general structures and highly specialized aircraft components.
Top exporters and importers of HS 880730 (the code used for aircraft fuselage), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 880730 (the code used for aircraft fuselage) in UN Comtrade data was the United Kingdom, with 16% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 17% 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).

The HS code for an aircraft fuselage is 880730, which covers other parts of aeroplanes, helicopters, or unmanned aircraft not specifically listed elsewhere in heading 8807.
How do I classify Aircraft fuselage for customs?
Aircraft fuselage is classified under HS code 880730 — Aircraft and spacecraft; parts of aeroplanes, helicopters or unmanned aircraft n.e.c. in heading no. 8807. This is a 6-digit subheading level code.
Does this code include wings or landing gear?
No, HS code 880730 does not include wings or landing gear. Wings have their own specific classification under HS code 880710, and landing gear is classified under HS code 880720.
Which countries are the top exporters of aircraft fuselage (HS 880730)?
In 2025, the top exporters of HS 880730 (the code used for aircraft fuselage) in UN Comtrade data were the United Kingdom ($12.2B, 16% of world exports), Germany ($11.9B) and France ($8.8B). World exports came to about $77.7B, 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 aircraft fuselage (HS 880730)?
In 2025, the top importers of HS 880730 (the code used for aircraft fuselage) in UN Comtrade data were the United States ($14.7B, 17% of world imports), France ($11.9B) and Germany ($10.7B).
