Overview
HTS Code 8802.20.01.50 specifically classifies "Multiple engine airplanes" that have an unladen weight not exceeding 2,000 kg. This category encompasses fixed-wing aircraft powered by two or more engines, regardless of engine type (e.g., piston, turboprop, jet). The key distinguishing factor for this classification is the presence of multiple propulsion systems.
This category is differentiated from its sibling, 8802.20.01.40, which covers "Single engine airplanes." The number of engines is the primary criterion for distinguishing between these two subcategories. If an airplane is powered by only one engine, it would fall under the single-engine classification, whereas aircraft utilizing two or more engines are classified here.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, classification into 8802.20.01.50 relies solely on the presence of multiple engines for an airplane falling within the specified weight limitations and the broader categories of aircraft of heading 8802.
