Last updated: April 2026 dataJet turbines, turboprops, and piston engines destined for civilian aircraft enter the US under a specialized end-use category that reflects the duty-free treatment historically extended to civil aviation equipment under the WTO Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft. Importers must ensure the engines are certified for civilian use and properly documented to maintain eligibility for this favorable classification. Engine type, thrust rating, and intended airframe all factor into correct classification, making pre-entry consultation with a licensed customs broker advisable for high-value shipments.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes. The US is a signatory to the WTO Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft, which generally provides duty-free treatment for qualifying civil aircraft engines. Importers must document that the engines are intended for civilian use and meet the agreement's eligibility criteria.
While end-use category 22020 captures civilian aircraft engines broadly, the underlying HTS tariff schedule distinguishes engines by type (turbojets, turboprops, piston engines) and thrust or power output. Correct classification at the HTS level is essential before the civil aircraft duty-free claim is applied.
