Heading 8412

Other engines and motors, and parts thereof

28 declarable lines

Heading 8412 covers engines and motors not provided for elsewhere, plus their parts. It is split by power type: reaction engines other than turbojets, hydraulic engines and motors, pneumatic engines and motors, and other engines and motors. Parts are classified separately by the type of engine or motor they serve.

Products in this heading

  • Hydraulic tie-rod cylinders
  • Hydraulic weld-fused cylinders
  • Pneumatic linear acting cylinders
  • Hydrojet engines for marine propulsion
  • Gear-type hydraulic motors
  • Axial piston hydraulic motors
  • Spring-operated motors
  • Wind turbine blades imported under statistical note 2

How to choose the right subheading

  • Identify the power source: reaction, hydraulic, pneumatic, or other engine or motor.
  • For hydraulic and pneumatic engines or motors, decide whether the unit is linear acting (cylinder) or other rotary type.
  • For hydraulic rotary motors, determine whether it is unlimited rotary acting and whether it is gear type, radial piston type, axial piston type, or other.
  • For parts, identify the parent engine or motor type, and for hydraulic or pneumatic parts determine whether the parent is linear acting.
  • For reaction engines, distinguish missile and rocket engines from other reaction engines.

Often confused with

  • Turbojets, turbopropellers and other gas turbines

    These are classified as turbines in heading 8411, not as reaction engines in heading 8412.

    Heading 8411
  • Pumps for liquids

    Liquid pumps belong in heading 8413 even when fitted with a motor.

    Heading 8413
  • Air or gas compressors and fans

    Compressors and fans are covered by heading 8414, not as pneumatic engines or motors.

    Heading 8414
  • Spark-ignition internal combustion piston engines

    Piston engines are classified in heading 8407 rather than as other engines in heading 8412.

    Heading 8407
  • Parts for internal combustion piston engines

    Parts for engines of heading 8407 go in heading 8409, not in the parts lines of heading 8412.
