Sub-classifications

Commodity Code
Description

Overview

This category encompasses a range of powerful engines that generate thrust or rotational power through the combustion of fuel and the expulsion of hot gases. It includes turbojets, which are primarily used for aircraft propulsion, generating thrust by expelling a high-speed jet of gas. Turbopropellers are also covered, featuring a gas turbine that drives a propeller, commonly found on smaller aircraft. The category further includes other types of gas turbines, which are versatile engines used in applications beyond aviation, such as power generation and industrial machinery.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings requires an understanding of the fundamental operational principles. While other categories in Section XVI may cover engines or machinery, HTS 8411 is specifically focused on the core components and mechanisms of gas turbine technology, differentiating it from, for example, internal combustion engines or steam turbines. The emphasis is on the continuous combustion process and the use of a turbine driven by the expanding hot gases.

Within HTS 8411, further subdivisions clarify the specific types of gas turbine products. The subcategories for "Turbojets," "Turbopropellers," and "Other gas turbines" allow for precise classification based on the intended application and design of the engine. Additionally, a distinct "Parts" subcategory is crucial for classifying components that are integral to the functioning of these gas turbines, ensuring comprehensive coverage within this specialized machinery group.
