8411.82 - Of a power exceeding 5,000 kW:

This HTS category, 8411.82, encompasses gas turbines specifically designed to produce a substantial output of power, defined as exceeding 5,000 kilowatts (kW). These are typically large and robust prime movers used in industrial applications where significant energy generation is required. Examples include turbines for power generation plants, large industrial drive systems, and propulsion systems for large marine vessels. The key distinguishing factor for this classification is the high power output.

It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, 8411.81, which covers gas turbines with a power output *not exceeding* 5,000 kW. Therefore, the primary criterion for differentiating between 8411.81 and 8411.82 is the measured power generation capacity of the turbine. Turbines falling under 8411.82 are inherently more powerful and generally larger in scale and application than those classified under 8411.81.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist to refine classification based on the specific end-use of these high-power gas turbines. Subcategory 8411.82.40.00 specifically covers aircraft turbines, indicating those designed for aircraft propulsion, even if they exceed the 5,000 kW threshold. The remaining turbines within this power range, not intended for aircraft use, are classified under the broader "Other" subcategory, 8411.82.80. This allows for a more granular approach to classifying diverse industrial and non-aircraft related applications of these powerful gas turbines.
