Last updated: April 2026 dataReplacement and aftermarket parts for the full range of navigational instruments — from direction-finding compasses to aeronautical autopilots and marine depth sounders — are classified here, with US tariff lines keyed to the parent instrument's subheading. Notably, 9014901000 covers parts for civil-aircraft navigation instruments of subheading 9014.20.40, and 9014902040 covers civil-aircraft navigation parts of subheading 9014.20.80, preserving the civil-aircraft duty treatment at the parts level. France leads US imports, with Canada, Malaysia, Mexico, and Taiwan rounding out the top supplier group.

Under GRI 3, parts suitable for use with multiple navigation instruments are generally classified according to the instrument they are principally designed for. If no principal use can be established, the part falls to the residual line 9014906000 covering parts and accessories for navigational instruments not elsewhere specified. Documenting the OEM's intended application supports the classification position.
Civil Aircraft Agreement treatment under US law is not restricted to US-registered aircraft; it applies to parts for civil (non-military) aircraft regardless of registry. The importer must still provide documentation establishing civil end-use. Parts destined for military aircraft do not qualify, and misrepresenting end-use is a customs fraud risk.
