8807.10.00 - Propellers and rotors and parts thereof

This HTS category, 8807.10.00, specifically encompasses propellers, rotors, and their constituent parts designed for aircraft. This includes fixed-pitch propellers, variable-pitch propellers, rotor blades for helicopters, and components such as hubs, pitch control mechanisms, and blades, provided they are not specifically classified elsewhere. The key criterion for inclusion is their direct application in generating thrust or lift for aircraft.

When classifying within heading 8807, it is important to distinguish this category from its siblings. Unlike 8807.20.00, which covers undercarriages and their parts (landing gear, wheels, brakes), or 8807.30.00, which broadly classifies other miscellaneous parts for airplanes, helicopters, or unmanned aircraft, 8807.10.00 is focused exclusively on the propulsion and lift-generating rotating components.

Further subclassification under 8807.10.00 may depend on the intended use, such as whether the propeller or rotor is intended for use in civil aircraft. The subdivision ".60" is provided to differentiate these aircraft-specific applications, allowing for more granular tracking and potential tariff variations based on end-use.
