Aircraft and spacecraft; propellers and rotors and parts thereof
Heading 8807 — Aircraft; parts of goods of heading 8801, 8802 or 8806
Chapter 88: Aircraft, spacecraft
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 880710 when importing or exporting aircraft propellers and rotors. This includes items like fixed-pitch propellers for small aircraft or helicopter rotors, which are essential for flight operation.
This code specifically covers propellers and rotors, distinguishing them from other aircraft parts classified under HS-6 880720, which relates to parts of propellers and rotors. If you’re dealing with a complete propeller assembly, use 880710; for individual components, look at 880720.
When classifying propellers, consider their design and intended use. For instance, a two-blade propeller made of aluminum for a light aircraft falls under this HS code, while a composite rotor for a helicopter would also be included.
If you're unsure whether your product qualifies under this code, check the specifications. Items like variable-pitch propellers or specialized rotors for drones may have different classifications.
