Product classification
HS code for Large turboprop engine: 8411.22
Turbo-propellers, of a power exceeding 1100kW.
Classification of large turboprop engine under HS 8411.22
Large turboprop engines are classified under HS code 8411.22. This classification follows the General Interpretative Rules by identifying the product as a gas turbine (heading 8411) and then specifically as a turbo-propeller. A turbo-propeller is a gas turbine engine where the energy of the exhaust gases is used to drive a turbine which, in turn, drives a conventional propeller through a reduction gearbox. The sub-classification 8411.22 is applied when the power output of the engine exceeds 1,100 kW. This power rating is typically the maximum shaft horsepower (SHP) converted to kilowatts. These engines are commonly found on regional transport aircraft, cargo planes, and certain military aircraft. The classification is based on the engine as a standalone unit, excluding the propeller itself if it is shipped separately.

Codes often confused with 8411.22
Common mistake. The most common misclassification is with HS code 8411.21, which covers turboprops with a power output of 1,100 kW or less. It is also frequently confused with HS code 8411.12 (turbo-jets). The distinction lies in how the thrust is generated; if the primary propulsion comes from a propeller driven by the turbine, it is a turboprop. Another error involves HS code 8407.10, which covers spark-ignition internal combustion piston engines for aircraft. Piston engines are fundamentally different from gas turbines. Lastly, if the engine is imported with the propeller attached, the propeller may sometimes be incorrectly included in the engine's value, though the propeller itself technically falls under 8803 (or 8807 in newer versions).
Top exporters and importers of HS 841122 (the code used for large turboprop engine), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 841122 (the code used for large turboprop engine) in UN Comtrade data was Singapore, with 39% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was Singapore, with 16% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

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).
