Overview
This HTS category, 8411.81.40.00, specifically classifies aircraft turbines that are designed for use in aviation and have a power output not exceeding 5,000 kilowatts (kW). These turbines are a type of gas turbine, distinguished by their application in propelling aircraft. The classification hinges on both the fundamental nature of the machinery as a gas turbine and its specific power rating, ensuring that only those turbines within this defined power threshold and intended for aeronautical use are included here.
Within the broader group of "Other gas turbines" and further refined to those with a power output not exceeding 5,000 kW, this subcategory (8411.81.40.00) is distinct from its sibling category, 8411.81.80. While 8411.81.80 would encompass other gas turbines not specifically designed for aircraft and within the 5,000 kW limit, this particular heading is solely for those intended for aviation applications. The key differentiator is the intended end-use: aircraft propulsion.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under 8411.81.40.00 is final for goods meeting the defined criteria of being an aircraft turbine with a power output not exceeding 5,000 kW. Therefore, importers and exporters must ensure all technical specifications and intended use documentation confirm adherence to this specific classification, making it crucial to avoid misclassifying general-purpose gas turbines or those exceeding the specified power output.
