8407.10.00.90 - Other 🖩

This HTS code, 8407.10.00.90, specifically classifies "other" spark-ignition internal combustion piston engines designed for use in aircraft. It encompasses engines that meet the general definition of spark-ignition reciprocating or rotary internal combustion piston engines but do not fall under any more specific subheadings within 8407.10.

The preceding subheading, 8407.10, covers all aircraft engines of the spark-ignition type. This current code, .90, serves as a residual category within the aircraft engine classification. It is distinct from any potential sibling categories that might exist at the same level by capturing engines not explicitly accounted for in other, more narrowly defined, aircraft engine subcategories. For instance, if there were a subheading for "turboprop engines" or "jet engines" (which are generally covered by a different HTS chapter), this category would not apply. However, for spark-ignition piston engines, this code applies to those not specifically provided for elsewhere within 8407.10.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under this heading relies on carefully considering whether an engine is indeed a spark-ignition reciprocating or rotary internal combustion piston engine intended for aircraft use and whether it does not fit any more specific classifications. This would typically include engines that, while designed for aircraft, possess unique characteristics or are of a design not commonly found or specifically enumerated in other HTS classifications.
