HS Code for Cockpit components

8807.30 Aircraft and spacecraft; parts of aeroplanes, helicopters or unmanned aircraft n.e.c. in heading no. 8807
View full HS code details

Cockpit components are classified under HS code 8807.30, which serves as a residual category for parts of aircraft, specifically airplanes and helicopters, that are not elsewhere specified or included (n.e.c.). Under the Harmonized System, parts are generally classified according to the machine or vehicle they are designed for, provided they are not excluded by Section XVI or XVII notes. Since cockpit components like control columns, rudder pedals, and structural housing are integral to the operation of the aircraft and are specifically designed for use in the flight deck, they fall under heading 8807. Subheading 8807.30 is designated for "other" parts of aircraft, excluding undercarriages and propellers which have their own subheadings (8807.10 and 8807.20). It is important to distinguish between structural or mechanical components and electronic instruments. If a component is a purely mechanical part of the flight control system or a structural element of the cockpit interior, 8807.30 is the correct classification. This follows GRI 1, which prioritizes the terms of the headings.

Products Included

  • Aircraft control columns (yokes)
  • Rudder pedal assemblies
  • Cockpit console structural frames
  • Throttle quadrant mechanical assemblies
  • Cockpit floor panels and bulkheads

Common Misclassification

Cockpit components are often misclassified under 9014.20, which covers instruments and appliances for aeronautical navigation. While the cockpit houses these instruments, the structural components themselves belong in 8807.30. Furthermore, electronic flight displays and avionics are typically classified in Chapter 85 (e.g., 8526.91 for radio navigational aids) rather than as general aircraft parts.

FAQ

What is the HS code for cockpit components?

The HS code for mechanical and structural cockpit components is 8807.30.

Are cockpit seats classified under this code?

No, aircraft seats are specifically classified under HS code 9401.10, as Chapter 94 takes precedence for furniture and seating.
