8411.22.40.00 - Aircraft turbines

This HTS classification, 8411.22.40.00, specifically covers turbopropellers designed for aircraft applications that have an engine power exceeding 1,100 kilowatts (kW). These are sophisticated propulsion systems where a turbine drives a propeller to generate thrust, essential for the operation of many large transport and military aircraft. The classification hinges on the combination of being a turbopropeller and its substantial power output, indicating its use in larger, more demanding aviation roles.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 8411.22.80.00 ("Other"), is crucial. While both fall under turbopropellers of a power exceeding 1,100 kW, the "Other" category would likely encompass turbopropellers that, for instance, have a specialized design not explicitly defined within the HTS, or perhaps differ in specific technical configurations not captured by a more granular subdivision. This category, 8411.22.40.00, is reserved for the standard and most prevalent turbopropellers meeting the specified power threshold for their aircraft applications.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification terminates here, signifying that goods meeting the criteria of being an aircraft turbopropeller with a power output exceeding 1,100 kW are definitively classified under 8411.22.40.00, with no further subdivisions required within this specific path. Classification relies on confirming the item's nature as a turbopropeller and verifying its stated power rating.
