US imports of Turbojets, turbopropellers and other gas turbines

US imports under HTS 8411 at a glance

Between March and July 2026, US importers entered $15.9 billion of turbojets, turbopropellers and other gas turbines under HTS heading 8411, from 48 of the 55 origin countries covered here and across 26 ten-digit tariff lines — roughly $3.19 billion a month of customs value under a single four-digit heading.

Heading 8411 sits in chapter 84, machinery, mechanical appliances and computers, so anything classified here shares a duty structure with the rest of that chapter.

Who exports turbojets, turbopropellers and other gas turbines to the United States

France is the largest origin with $3.10 billion, or 19.4% of the heading, with Canada at 18.5% and United Kingdom at 11.9%. The top three take 49.8% between them — enough concentration to matter when one origin's duty treatment changes, but not so much that a buyer has no alternative to qualify.

Canada and Mexico sit near the top of the table, and the duty numbers reflect it: Canada entered 97.8% of its value free of duty and Mexico entered 93.7% of its value free of duty. Cargo that qualifies under USMCA and is claimed correctly at entry pays nothing; cargo that does not qualify, or that is never claimed, pays the ordinary rate. The certification is the whole difference.

What importers actually paid in duty

Most of this heading enters duty-free. Only 13.2% of the entered value was dutiable, and across all origins CBP collected $211 million — about $1.32 of duty per $100 of goods. The headline rate on the dutiable portion was 10%, but it applies to a small slice, so the number that matters to a landed-cost model is the $1.32.

The spread between origins is real. Among origins with at least 2% of the heading, Hungary paid the most duty relative to value — $6.55 per $100 — while Canada paid $0.20. On a $250,000 purchase order that gap is about $16,000 in duty alone, which is worth pricing into a sourcing decision rather than discovering on the entry summary.

The 10-digit lines under heading 8411

26 ten-digit lines carried trade under this heading in the period. The largest, 8411.91.90.85 (other), took 46.5% of the heading at $7.41 billion. 8411.12.40.00, 8411.99.90.85 and 8411.99.90.90 follow. Rates diverge between those lines, so the classification your broker files is worth checking against the goods rather than carried over from the last entry.

What the duty stack looks like

The rate on an entry is not one number. It is a stack: the general (column 1) rate for the 10-digit line, less any trade-agreement preference the goods qualify for, plus whatever additional duties apply to that product and origin, all applied to the customs value declared. The $1.32 per $100 above is what that stack averaged across every entry in this heading — a benchmark, not a quote.

For the origins carrying the most volume, the per-country breakdowns go a level deeper: France (8411.91.90), United Kingdom (8411.12.40) and Germany (8411.12.40). To price a specific shipment, put your 10-digit code and country of origin into the tariff simulator.

What this means for your next shipment

Classify first, confirm origin second, quote freight third. A heading like 8411 rewards that order, because the duty differences between lines and between origins are usually larger than the freight differences on the same lane. Airlift USA handles the freight and coordinates classification and entry through our licensed broker network.
