8411.82.80 - Other

This HTS category, 8411.82.80, encompasses "Other" gas turbines with a power output exceeding 5,000 kW, excluding those explicitly classified elsewhere at this level. Following the broader classification of turbines, this subcategory serves as a residual classification for powerful gas turbines that do not fall under more specific headings. The primary distinguishing characteristic here is the significant power output, indicating industrial or large-scale applications.

Unlike the sibling category 8411.82.40.00, which specifically designates aircraft turbines, this category is intended for turbines not designed for aerospace propulsion. The focus shifts from airborne applications to stationary or ground-based power generation and industrial drive systems. Therefore, classification within 8411.82.80 hinges on the turbine's intended use and design features, distinguishing it from aircraft-specific turbines.

Within this classification, two subcategories further refine the classification. 8411.82.80.10 specifically addresses industrial turbines as defined by statistical note 1 to this chapter, often implying specific design or operational characteristics for industrial processes. The residual subcategory, 8411.82.80.90, covers all other gas turbines exceeding 5,000 kW power output that do not meet the criteria for the statistically defined industrial turbines, ensuring comprehensive coverage of this high-power turbine segment.
