HS Code for Aircraft wings

Aircraft wings are classified under HS code 8807.30, which covers parts of aeroplanes, helicopters, or unmanned aircraft. This code is part of Chapter 88, which encompasses aircraft, spacecraft, and parts thereof. Wings are considered essential structural components of an aircraft, providing the necessary lift for flight. The classification follows the principle that parts specifically designed for use solely or principally with the machines of Chapter 88 are classified within that chapter, provided they are not excluded by Section XVII notes. As wings are primary aerodynamic surfaces unique to aircraft, they fall squarely into the subheadings for aircraft parts rather than general metal or composite material headings. The classification remains consistent whether the wing is made of aluminum, titanium, or advanced carbon-fiber composites, as the function as an aircraft part is the primary determinant under the Harmonized System rules.

Products Included

• Fixed wings for commercial airliners
• Rotary wings (rotor blades) for helicopters
• Wing flaps and ailerons
• Winglets and wing-tip fences
• Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) wings

Common Misclassification

Which other HS codes get confused with this one and why. Mention specific code numbers. Aircraft wings are sometimes misclassified under 7616 if they are made of aluminum, as this code covers other articles of aluminum. However, because they are identifiable parts of aircraft, Chapter 88 takes precedence. Another common error is using 8802, which is for complete aircraft; parts must be classified under 8807. Prior to 2022, these parts were often classified under 8803, but the HS 2022 update moved aircraft parts to the new 8807 heading.

FAQ

What is the HS code for Aircraft wings?

The HS code for aircraft wings and their primary structural components is 8807.30.

Are wing-mounted engines included in this code?

No, aircraft engines are classified separately under heading 8411 (turbojets and turbopropellers) or 8407 (spark-ignition internal combustion engines), as engines are specifically excluded from the general parts heading for aircraft.
