Last updated: July 2026 dataIndustrial and marine gas turbines that do not qualify as turbopropellers or aircraft engines are captured in this residual SITC heading, covering units used in pipeline compression, offshore platforms, naval vessels, and utility-scale power generation. Because these turbines are often project-specific capital goods, lead times and single-source procurement arrangements can create significant supply-chain concentration risk. Section 232 tariff exposure may apply to certain steel and aluminum components incorporated into the turbine assembly, depending on country of origin and component classification.

CBP's 'entireties' doctrine may allow a partially assembled machine to be classified as the complete article if the essential character is present, but this requires advance planning. Importers should consider filing a binding ruling request and coordinating with their customs broker to ensure all shipment legs are linked under a single entry or a properly structured split-shipment arrangement.
Potentially, yes. While the turbine itself may not be directly subject to Section 232, steel and aluminum components incorporated into the unit — or imported separately as parts — could carry Section 232 exposure depending on their origin and classification. A thorough component-level tariff analysis is advisable for large capital equipment purchases.
