Last updated: July 2026 dataCatapult systems, deck-arrestor gear, and similar equipment used to launch or recover aircraft from carriers and airfields — along with their parts — are classified under a single line (8805100000), a heading dominated by defense procurement channels. France and the Netherlands are among the leading US import sources, consistent with NATO interoperability programs and allied defense industrial cooperation. Because much of this equipment is designed for military application, importers should evaluate ITAR and Export Administration Regulations compliance, as well as any applicable DoD acquisition requirements.

Military-specification launching and arrestor systems are frequently controlled under the US Munitions List (USML) or the Commerce Control List (CCL), requiring either a State Department or Commerce Department license for import. Even commercially available variants may be subject to end-use controls. Importers should conduct an ITAR/EAR classification review before filing entry.
Parts specifically designed for aircraft launching gear and deck-arrestors are classified within 8805100000 alongside the complete systems. However, general-purpose components (e.g., standard hydraulic fittings or fasteners) that are not dedicated to this equipment may be classified under their own respective headings. The 'specifically designed or adapted' test is the key classification criterion.
