Watch Out for New Aircraft Parts Tariff Codes!!!

The tariff codes for aircraft parts will change, effective January 27, 2022 (the thirtieth day after publication in the Federal Register).

Most importers are used to assigning tariff codes in the form 8803.XX.XXXX to their aircraft parts. These tariff codes are being replaced! So if you have been using a tariff code that starts with 8803, then it is likely to have been changed to a new tariff code that begins with 8807.

The new tariff codes were announced in Proclamation 10326. The Proclamation cross references ITC Publication 5240, which provides the specific new tariff codes:

HeadingSubheadingArticle Description
8807Parts of goods of heading 8801, 8802, or 8806
8807.10.00Propellers and rotors and parts thereof
8807.20.00Undercarriages and parts thereof
8807.30.00Other parts of airplanes, helicopters or unmanned aircraft
8807.90.00Other:
8807.90.30Parts of communications satellites
8807.90.30Other

Remember! Not all aircraft parts are imported under Heading 8803. for example, engine parts have their own Heading.
