HTS 8802 — Aircraft, spacecraft, and launch vehicles Tariff Rate (2026)

HTS heading 8802 covers aircraft, spacecraft, and launch vehicles, entering the United States at duty-free. Airplanes, helicopters, and spacecraft. Includes commercial aircraft and private jets. Unmanned aircraft (drones) are classified under heading 8806. On top of the MFN rate, most non-EU imports under this heading carry the Section 301 forced-labor tariff — a two-tier 10%/12.5% duty that replaced the flat 10% Section 122 rate on July 24, 2026. EU-origin goods instead fall under the EU-US trade deal's 15% all-inclusive ceiling (effective July 1, 2026), where nothing stacks and goods with an MFN rate of 15% or more pay MFN only. EU-origin aircraft and parts under 8802/8803 go MFN-only as of September 1, 2026 — the 15% EU-US deal ceiling does not apply to these headings. Worked example: a $10,000 shipment under HTS 8802 owes about $0 in MFN duty (0%); adding the 10% base forced-labor surcharge brings it to roughly $1,000 from a standard-tier origin, or about $1,250 from a 12.5%-tier origin such as China.
