Product classification
HS code for Propeller turbine: 8411.22
Turbo-propellers, of a power exceeding 1100kW.
Classification of propeller turbine under HS 8411.22
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.

Codes often confused with 8411.22
Common mistake. 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.
Top exporters and importers of HS 841122 (the code used for propeller turbine), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 841122 (the code used for propeller turbine) 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).
