Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 880720 when importing or exporting under-carriages and parts specifically designed for aircraft and spacecraft. For example, if you're shipping a set of landing gear for a commercial airplane, this is the code to use.
This code applies to under-carriages, which include components like wheels, struts, and hydraulic systems. Be cautious not to confuse it with HS-6 880710, which covers complete aircraft under-carriages, rather than parts.
When classifying under-carriage parts, consider their specific function and design. For instance, a hydraulic actuator designed for an aircraft's landing gear falls under this code, while parts for military aircraft may have different classifications.
If you are unsure about the exact classification, consult with a customs broker who can help clarify whether your product fits under HS-6 880720 or another related code.
