HS-6 · Subheading
841011
Turbines; hydraulic turbines and water wheels, of a power not exceeding 1000kW
Heading 8410 — Turbines; hydraulic water wheels and regulators therefor
Chapter 84: Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 841011 when importing or exporting hydraulic turbines and water wheels with a power output not exceeding 1000 kW. For example, a shipment of a small hydroelectric turbine designed for a local power plant would fall under this code.
This code is specific to hydraulic turbines, distinguishing them from other types of turbines like steam or gas turbines, which are classified under different HS codes. If your turbine operates on steam, you would look at HS-6 841012 instead.
Hydraulic turbines are designed to convert the energy of flowing water into mechanical energy. This HS-6 line includes products like Kaplan turbines or Francis turbines, commonly used in small-scale hydroelectric plants.
When classifying your product, consider the power output. If your hydraulic turbine exceeds 1000 kW, you will need to use a different classification, such as HS-6 841013 for larger turbines.

Questions & answers
For orientation only—the binding text is your national tariff and the WCO nomenclature your country uses.
- What types of turbines are included in HS-6 841011?
- HS-6 841011 includes hydraulic turbines and water wheels with a power output not exceeding 1000 kW, such as Kaplan and Francis turbines.
- How do I know if my turbine fits under HS-6 841011?
- Check the power output of your turbine. If it is 1000 kW or less and operates hydraulically, it likely falls under HS-6 841011.
- What is the difference between HS-6 841011 and HS-6 841012?
- HS-6 841011 is for hydraulic turbines under 1000 kW, while HS-6 841012 covers larger hydraulic turbines exceeding that power output.
- Can I classify a water wheel under HS-6 841011?
- Yes, water wheels that convert hydraulic energy and have a power output not exceeding 1000 kW can be classified under HS-6 841011.
- What documentation do I need for importing hydraulic turbines?
- You will typically need a commercial invoice, packing list, and possibly a certificate of origin or compliance, depending on your country's regulations.
- Are there specific regulations for exporting hydraulic turbines?
- Yes, regulations can vary by country, so check with your customs broker for specific export requirements and any necessary permits.
- What if my turbine is a custom-built model?
- Custom-built turbines can still be classified under HS-6 841011 if they meet the power output criteria and are hydraulic in nature.
