Product classification
HS code for Small turbojet engine: 8411.11
Turbo-jets, of a thrust not exceeding 25kN.
Classification of small turbojet engine under HS 8411.11
Turbojet engines with a thrust not exceeding 25 kN are classified under HS code 8411.11. A turbojet is a type of gas turbine engine that works by compressing air, mixing it with fuel, igniting the mixture, and exhausting the high-velocity gases to produce thrust. The classification under 8411.11 is strictly based on the thrust capacity. If the engine produces more than 25 kN of thrust, it is classified under 8411.12. These smaller engines are frequently found in small executive jets, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or as auxiliary power units in larger aircraft. The distinction is vital for regulatory compliance and monitoring the trade of dual-use technologies. The thrust measurement must be taken at take-off power in a static position at sea level, following standard atmospheric conditions as defined by international aviation standards.

Codes often confused with 8411.11
Common mistake. The most common misclassification occurs between turbojets (8411.11) and turboprops (8411.21). While both are gas turbines, a turbojet produces thrust through exhaust gases, whereas a turboprop uses the turbine to drive a propeller. Additionally, engines exceeding 25 kN must be classified under 8411.12. Importers sometimes confuse these with turbo-fans, but for HS purposes, turbo-fans are generally classified under the same subheadings as turbo-jets (8411.11 or 8411.12) based on their thrust.
Top exporters and importers of HS 841111 (the code used for small turbojet engine), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 841111 (the code used for small turbojet engine) in UN Comtrade data was Canada, with 30% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 26% 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).
