HS-6 · Subheading
841239
Engines; pneumatic power engines and motors, other than linear acting (cylinders)
Heading 8412 — Engines and motors; n.e.c. (e.g. reaction engines, hydraulic power engines, pneumatic power engines)
Chapter 84: Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 841239 when importing or exporting pneumatic power engines and motors that are not linear acting, such as those used in industrial applications. For example, a shipment of pneumatic motors used in assembly line machinery would fall under this code.
This code specifically covers pneumatic engines and motors, distinguishing them from other types like hydraulic engines classified under HS-6 841231. If you're dealing with pneumatic systems, ensure you use 841239 rather than 841231, which is for hydraulic types.
Pneumatic engines and motors under this code are typically used in applications where compressed air is utilized to generate motion. Common examples include air-powered tools and equipment in manufacturing settings.
When classifying your products, consider whether they operate on pneumatic principles. If your equipment uses compressed air to function, 841239 is likely the appropriate classification.
