EU Aircraft Parts Are BACK to Duty Free

Under the Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft (ATCA), aircraft and their parts are supposed to enter on a duty-free basis. The recent application of duty (chapter 99 tariffs) to aircraft parts has been a major change for the aviation industry. We are slowly rolling that back.

The most recent change has been for civil aviation products of the EU. HTSUS (2025) revision 24 was issued on September 25 and it includes duty free treatment for most civil aircraft parts. The specific details can be found in the Federal Register notice.

To be clear, the actual tariff treatment is that civil aircraft parts that are products of the EU and that fall into a list of tariff codes (it is long, but reproduced below) are now exempt from additional duties, but will be subject to the regular base duty to which they were always subject.

The new chapter 99 tariff code for civil aircraft parts that are products of the EU is HTSUS 9903.02.76.
