Overview
This HTS subcategory, 8807.20.00.30, encompasses all undercarriages and their constituent parts that are specifically designed for use in civil aircraft, excluding those designated for military or coast guard purposes. This includes components such as landing gear struts, wheels, brakes, and associated hydraulic or pneumatic systems when intended for non-military civil aviation applications. The classification hinges on the intended use in civilian aircraft, distinguishing these parts from those that might be similar in physical construction but are destined for military aviation.
It is important to differentiate this category from its sibling, 8807.20.00.15, which is exclusively reserved for undercarriages and parts thereof intended for use by the Department of Defense or the United States Coast Guard. Therefore, if an undercarriage component is manufactured for a commercial airliner, a private jet, or any other non-governmental civil aircraft, it falls under 8807.20.00.30. Conversely, components for military transport aircraft or patrol vessels operated by these governmental entities would be classified under the sibling category.
As this is a leaf node within the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level relies on confirming the intended end-use in civil aviation. This typically involves documentation such as purchase orders, end-user declarations, or specifications that clearly indicate the civilian application of the undercarriage or its parts. The absence of specific sub-classifications means that all eligible items under this heading are grouped together.
