About aircraft and spacecraft; parts thereof n.e.c. in chapter 88

HS code 880790 covers a wide range of aircraft and spacecraft parts that are not classified elsewhere in chapter 88 of the Harmonized System. This industry is a critical component of the global aerospace and defense sectors, supporting the manufacturing and maintenance of both commercial and military aviation assets. The production and trade of these specialized parts play a vital role in the broader transportation and logistics infrastructure, enabling the movement of people and goods around the world.

Production process

The production of aircraft and spacecraft parts classified under HS code 880790 involves a range of advanced manufacturing techniques. This can include precision machining, metal fabrication, composite material layup, and complex assembly processes. Manufacturers must adhere to stringent quality control standards and safety regulations to ensure the reliability and airworthiness of these critical components.

Production inputs

Key inputs for this industry include high-grade metals such as aluminum, titanium, and specialty alloys, as well as advanced composite materials like carbon fiber and fiberglass. Specialized machinery, tools, and testing equipment are also essential for the production and inspection of these parts. Additionally, the industry relies on a highly skilled workforce of engineers, technicians, and production workers to design, manufacture, and maintain these sophisticated components.

Production outputs

The parts produced under HS code 880790 are essential for the assembly, maintenance, and repair of a wide range of aircraft and spacecraft. These components are consumed by manufacturers of 880240 Airplanes and other aircraft, mechanically propelled, of an unladen weight exceeding 15,000 kg, 880260 (Spacecraft (including satellites) and suborbital and spacecraft launch vehicles), and 880330 Parts of airplanes or helicopters, among others. The global trade in these specialized parts supports the continued development and operation of the broader aviation and aerospace industries.
