HS-6 · Subheading
841280
Engines; pneumatic power engines and motors, n.e.c. in heading no. 8412
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 841280 when importing or exporting pneumatic power engines and motors not elsewhere classified. For instance, if you are shipping a pneumatic motor used in a manufacturing assembly line, this code applies.
This code specifically covers pneumatic engines and motors that operate using compressed air. It differs from HS-6 841281, which is for pneumatic power engines designed for specific applications like tools or machinery.
In contrast, HS-6 841290 includes parts and accessories for pneumatic engines, meaning if you're dealing with components rather than complete engines, you'll need to look there instead.
Understanding the specifics of this classification helps ensure compliance with customs regulations and accurate tariff application. Always check if your product fits the description of pneumatic engines or motors.
