8807.90.90.60 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 8807.90.90.60, encompasses "Other" parts and accessories specifically intended for aircraft classified under headings 8801 (balloons and airships), 8802 (other aircraft, e.g., airplanes, helicopters), or 8806 (drones). These parts are not otherwise specified or included in more granular subheadings within heading 8807. This broad residual category captures a wide array of aircraft components and accessories that do not fit into more specific classifications, such as engines, propellers, landing gear, or fuselage sections.

It is crucial to distinguish this "Other" category from its sibling, "For use in civil aircraft." While both fall under the umbrella of parts for aircraft of headings 8801, 8802, or 8806, this distinction is based on the *intended use*. The sibling category specifically applies to parts exclusively destined for civil aircraft. In contrast, 8807.90.90.60 serves as a catch-all for parts that may be used in both civil and military aircraft, or for which a specific civil aircraft designation is not applicable or has already been addressed in other subheadings. Therefore, the primary classification criterion here is the absence of a more specific subheading within 8807.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under this heading relies on thoroughly exhausting all preceding, more specific subheadings. If an aircraft part or accessory for headings 8801, 8802, or 8806 cannot be classified elsewhere within heading 8807, then it is directed to this residual "Other" category. This requires a careful review of the product's physical characteristics, function, and material composition to ensure it does not meet the criteria for any more precisely defined tariff item.
