HS Code for Propeller turbine

Propeller turbines, specifically turbo-propellers, are classified under HS code 8411.22 when their power output exceeds 1,100 kW. This classification falls under Chapter 84, which covers nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery, and mechanical appliances. Heading 8411 specifically addresses turbo-jets, turbo-propellers, and other gas turbines. A turbo-propeller is a type of turbine engine that drives an aircraft propeller. The HS system differentiates these engines based on their power capacity; the 8411.22 code is reserved for high-capacity engines used in larger aircraft, whereas smaller engines fall under a different subheading. This classification is critical for the aerospace industry to ensure compliance with civil aircraft parts regulations and trade agreements.

Products Included

• Turboprop engines for regional airliners
• Military transport aircraft propeller turbines
• Gas turbines for high-power marine propulsion
• Replacement turbo-propeller units (>1100kW)
• Industrial propeller-driven gas turbines

Common Misclassification

The most frequent misclassification is HS code 8411.21, which is for turbo-propellers with a power not exceeding 1,100 kW. Accurate technical documentation of the engine's kilowatt rating is required to distinguish between these two. Additionally, some may confuse these with 8406 (steam turbines) or 8408 (diesel engines), but 8411 is the specific heading for gas-driven turbine engines used in aviation.

FAQ

What is the HS code for propeller turbine?

The HS code for a turbo-propeller with power exceeding 1,100 kW is 8411.22.

Does this code include the propeller blades?

No, propeller blades and hubs are typically classified under 8803.10 as parts of aircraft, unless they are integrated into the engine unit at the time of import.
