HS Code for Gas turbine parts

HS Code 841199 is the specific classification for parts of gas turbines, excluding those used for aircraft propulsion such as turbo-jets and turbo-propellers. Gas turbines classified under 8411 are internal combustion engines where the working fluid is a gas, typically used in industrial power generation, mechanical drive applications, or marine propulsion. The parts classified under 841199 must be identifiable as being suitable for use solely or principally with these specific turbines. This classification follows the General Rules of Interpretation and Section XVI Note 2(b), which directs parts that are not specified elsewhere to be classified with the machines they are intended for. The technical complexity of these parts, often involving high-temperature resistant alloys and precision engineering, necessitates a specific code to track trade data accurately for the energy and industrial sectors. This code excludes parts for turbo-jets (841191) and general-purpose parts like bolts or gaskets which are classified by their own material headings.

Products Included

• Gas turbine blades and rotors
• Combustion chambers for industrial turbines
• Turbine casings and housings
• Fuel nozzles for gas turbines
• Stator vanes and guide vanes

Common Misclassification

The most common misclassification occurs with 841191, which is strictly for parts of aircraft turbo-jets or turbo-propellers. Importers also frequently confuse these with steam turbine parts (840690) or general engine parts (840999). It is vital to verify the end-use of the turbine to distinguish between industrial gas turbines and aviation engines.

FAQ

What is the HS code for gas turbine parts?

The HS code for parts of non-aviation gas turbines is 841199.

Are bearings for gas turbines classified under 841199?

No, ball or roller bearings are generally classified under heading 8482, even if intended for a gas turbine, unless they are an integral part of a larger assembly.
