Overview
This HTS classification, 8407.29.00.40, specifically covers spark-ignition internal combustion piston engines designed for marine propulsion that exceed 18.65 kW in output power. These engines are intended for use in inboard drive systems, meaning they are integrated within the hull of a watercraft and transmit power directly to a propeller shaft. This category encompasses a wide range of powerful engines used in various marine vessels, from recreational boats to larger commercial craft.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. HTS code 8407.29.00.20 addresses smaller marine engines with an output of less than 746 W, while 8407.29.00.30 covers engines ranging from 746 W up to and including 18.65 kW. Therefore, this specific classification is reserved for engines that surpass the 18.65 kW threshold, indicating a significantly higher power output suitable for more demanding marine applications.
As this node represents a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification within 8407.29.00.40 is determined solely by the engine type (spark-ignition, reciprocating or rotary internal combustion piston), its intended use (marine propulsion, inboard drive), and its power output exceeding 18.65 kW. Importers must ensure that the declared power rating of the engine is accurately reflected and verifiable to ensure correct classification.
