Product classification
HS code for Power generation turbine: 8411.82
Turbines, gas-turbines (excluding turbo-jets and turbo-propellers), of a power exceeding 5000kW.
Classification of power generation turbine under HS 8411.82
Industrial gas turbines used for power generation with a power output exceeding 5,000 kW are classified under HS code 8411.82. This classification falls under Heading 8411, which encompasses turbo-jets, turbo-propellers, and other gas turbines. The "other gas turbines" category (8411.81 and 8411.82) is distinct from aviation turbines as these units are typically used for stationary industrial applications, such as driving electric generators in simple-cycle or combined-cycle power plants. The classification is determined by the mechanical output of the turbine itself. For units with a power exceeding 5,000 kW, the specific subheading 8411.82 is mandatory. These machines operate by compressing ambient air, mixing it with fuel, and igniting the mixture to produce high-velocity exhaust gases that drive the turbine blades, converting thermal energy into mechanical energy.

Codes often confused with 8411.82
Common mistake. A common error is classifying these units under 8411.81, which is reserved for gas turbines with a power output not exceeding 5,000 kW. Another frequent misclassification involves HS code 8502, which covers electric generating sets. If the turbine is imported as a complete unit coupled with an electrical generator, it may move to 8502; however, the turbine alone remains in 8411.82. Additionally, steam turbines are often confused with gas turbines, but steam turbines belong in Heading 8406.
Top exporters and importers of HS 841182 (the code used for power generation turbine), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 841182 (the code used for power generation turbine) in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 30% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 7.7% 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).

Questions about power generation turbine
What is the HS code for Power generation turbine?
The HS code for Power generation turbine is 841182 (Turbines; gas-turbines (excluding turbo-jets and turbo-propellers), of a power exceeding 5000kW). For a gas turbine used in power generation with an output greater than 5,000 kW, the HS code is 8411.82.
How do I classify Power generation turbine for customs?
Power generation turbine is classified under HS code 841182 — Turbines; gas-turbines (excluding turbo-jets and turbo-propellers), of a power exceeding 5000kW. This is a 6-digit subheading level code.
What if the gas turbine is used for a ship?
If the gas turbine is used for marine propulsion, it is still classified under Heading 8411, but the specific subheading may depend on the power output and technical configuration, though 8411.82 remains the standard for high-power units.
Which countries are the top exporters of power generation turbine (HS 841182)?
In 2025, the top exporters of HS 841182 (the code used for power generation turbine) in UN Comtrade data were the United States ($2.0B, 30% of world exports), Italy ($1.1B) and the United Kingdom ($999M). World exports came to about $6.6B, adding countries' reported figures and partner-based estimates for those that did not report (UN Comtrade data). Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.
