HS-4 · Heading
8805 — Aircraft launching gear, deck-arrestor or similar gear, ground flying trainers; parts of the foregoing articles
Chapter 88: Aircraft, spacecraft
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 8805 when importing aircraft launching gear, such as deck-arrestor systems used on aircraft carriers, or ground flying trainers like flight simulators. Understanding the specific subheadings can help ensure compliance and avoid delays.
When deciding between the subheadings, note that 880510 covers all types of aircraft launching gear and related parts, while 880521 is specific to ground flying trainers and air combat simulators. If your equipment doesn't fit the combat simulator category, you'll likely use 880529.
If you import a deck-arrestor system, you’ll classify it under 880510. However, if your shipment includes a flight simulator designed for training pilots without combat scenarios, you should select 880529 instead of 880521.
