HS Code for Jet engine parts

Jet engine parts are classified under HS code 8411.91. This code is a subheading of 8411, which covers turbo-jets, turbo-propellers, and other gas turbines. The specific subheading 8411.91 is dedicated to parts of turbo-jets or turbo-propellers. Classification here is determined by the 'parts' rule of Chapter 84, where components suitable for use solely or principally with a particular machine are classified with that machine. Jet engine parts are highly engineered components designed to withstand extreme heat and pressure. This classification is essential for distinguishing engine-specific components from general aircraft parts or standard hardware like bolts and gaskets. The parts must be identifiable as being for a turbo-jet or turbo-propeller engine to qualify for this specific code.

Products Included

• Turbo-jet compressor blades and vanes
• Combustion chambers for jet engines
• Turbine rotors and discs
• Fuel nozzles specifically for turbo-jets
• Jet engine exhaust nozzles and ducts
• Stator blades for aircraft turbines
• Casings and housings for turbo-propeller engines
• Shafts and bearings designed specifically for jet engines

Common Misclassification

A common misclassification occurs when jet engine parts are filed under HS code 8803 (now 8807 in newer versions), which covers parts of goods of heading 8801 or 8802 (aircraft). However, Note 2(e) to Section XVII excludes machines and apparatus of headings 8401 to 8479 from Chapter 88. Therefore, engine parts must stay in Chapter 84. Another error is using 8411.99, which is for parts of 'other' gas turbines (such as industrial land-based turbines). If the part is for an aviation turbo-jet, 8411.91 is the mandatory code. Finally, general-purpose parts like fasteners (Chapter 73) or electrical sensors (Chapter 90) are classified in their own respective headings even if intended for a jet engine.

FAQ

What is the HS code for jet engine parts?

The HS code for parts of turbo-jets and turbo-propellers is 8411.91.

Are all aircraft engine parts under 8411.91?

No, only parts for turbo-jets and turbo-propellers are under 8411.91. Parts for reciprocating internal combustion piston engines used in aircraft are classified under 8409.10.
