8411.11.40

Analysis

HTS 8411.11.40 covers of a thrust not exceeding 25 kN: aircraft turbines under heading 8411 (turbojets, turbopropellers and other gas turbines, and parts thereof).

Within this group the rate runs from duty-free to 2.5%. Compared with 8411.82.80 (of a power exceeding 5,000 kW: other), which pays 2.5%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 2.5 percentage points.

Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 35% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 35% duty.

The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 61% of the 823 tariff lines in chapter 84, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.

Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing), an industry of 440 US establishments employing 75,499 people. That concordance is how imports of this line are compared with US output.
