About heading 8407

Spark-ignition reciprocating or rotary internal combustion piston engines

Heading 8407 covers spark-ignition reciprocating or rotary internal combustion piston engines, meaning gasoline-type engines with spark plugs rather than diesel engines. The heading splits first by end use: aircraft engines (8407.10), marine propulsion engines (8407.21 and 8407.29), engines for vehicles of chapter 87 (8407.31 through 8407.34, split by cylinder capacity), and all other engines (8407.90). Most lines in the heading carry a general (MFN) rate of Free, with a 2.5% rate on certain vehicle engines of 250 cc and above.
