8411.81.80.10 - Industrial turbines of a kind described in statistical note 1 of this chapter

This HTS category, 8411.81.80.10, specifically covers industrial gas turbines with a power output not exceeding 5,000 kW, excluding those of the kind described under statistical note 1 of Chapter 84. These turbines are typically designed for continuous operation in industrial applications, such as power generation, mechanical drive for pumps and compressors, or as components in larger industrial processes. Their construction and intended use differentiate them from turbines intended for aerospace propulsion or other specialized applications.

Within the broader classification of "Other gas turbines of a power not exceeding 5,000 kW," this specific subheading is distinguished from its sibling category, 8411.81.80.90, by the absence of a specific characteristic or feature. While the sibling category is reserved for any other gas turbines meeting the general power criteria, 8411.81.80.10 encompasses those that are not otherwise specified or excluded by other provisions within this level of the tariff schedule, provided they also meet the conditions outlined in statistical note 1. The exact determination often relies on a careful review of specific technical specifications and the intended end-use of the turbine.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within HTS 8411.81.80.10. Classification at this level is therefore definitive for qualifying industrial gas turbines. The key factors for correct classification here are the turbine's power output (not exceeding 5,000 kW), its classification as an "other" gas turbine (meaning not a turbojet or turbopropeller), and adherence to the stipulations in statistical note 1 of Chapter 84.
