HS v2022 Code: 880220

About aeroplanes and other aircraft, except unmanned; of an unladen weight not exceeding 2000kg

HS code 880220 covers the import and export of small aircraft, including aeroplanes and other aircraft, with an unladen weight not exceeding 2,000 kg. This industry plays a crucial role in the global aviation sector, providing essential transportation solutions for both commercial and private use. These lightweight aircraft are widely utilized for a range of applications, including personal travel, air taxi services, and specialized operations such as aerial photography and surveying.

Production process

The production of aircraft under HS code 880220 typically involves a complex and highly-engineered manufacturing process. Key steps include the design and development of the airframe, the integration of propulsion systems (such as engines or electric motors), the installation of avionics and other electronic systems, and the final assembly and testing of the complete aircraft. Manufacturers often utilize advanced materials, such as lightweight composites, to optimize the aircraft's performance and efficiency.

Production inputs

The production of aircraft under HS code 880220 requires a variety of specialized inputs, including high-strength and lightweight materials (e.g., aluminum, carbon fiber, and advanced composites), precision-engineered components (e.g., engines, landing gear, and flight control systems), and advanced manufacturing equipment (e.g., CNC machines, 3D printers, and robotic assembly lines). Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce of engineers, technicians, and production personnel to design, build, and maintain these aircraft.

Production outputs

Aircraft produced under HS code 880220 are primarily used for personal and commercial air transportation, as well as specialized applications such as aerial photography, surveying, and air taxi services. The output of this industry may be consumed by 880240 Aeroplanes and other aircraft, of an unladen weight exceeding 15,000 kg, 880260 Aeroplanes and other aircraft, of an unladen weight exceeding 2,000 kg but not exceeding 15,000 kg, and 880310 Propellers and rotors and parts thereof for aeroplanes or helicopters.
