Airplanes and other aircraft, of an unladen weight exceeding 2,000 kg but not exceeding 15,000 kg

This code covers airplanes and other aircraft weighing over 2,000 kg but not exceeding 15,000 kg. Use this code when importing these aircraft, as the duty is generally free for standard trade partners, detailed within Chapter 88 regarding aircraft, spacecraft, and their parts.

Detailed information for HTS Code 8802.30.01

AI Summary

Chapter 88 covers aircraft, spacecraft, and related parts, and this specific code, 8802.30.01, applies to airplanes and other aircraft weighing over 2,000 kg but not exceeding 15,000 kg. This code further breaks down into classifications for new versus used/rebuilt aircraft, and then by military or other types, and for new "other" aircraft, further specifications are given by engine type and weight. When reporting, choose the statistical suffix that most accurately reflects the aircraft's condition (new, used/rebuilt), its primary function (military/other), and, if new and ‘other’, its engine type and weight range to ensure proper classification.

Eligible FTA or preference programs

The general duty rate for HTS code 8802.30.01 and its subdivisions is Free, indicating no duty is assessed for standard trade partners. Special rates are not specified, but eligibility for FTA or preference programs could potentially offer reduced or eliminated duties. There are no report units specified for this HTS code. This means that while the base rate applies across all subdivisions (8802.30.01.10 through 8802.30.01.80), importers should verify if their country of origin qualifies for any preferential trade agreements to reduce or eliminate duties.
