What HS code 8804 covers
Heading 8804 is built for things that slow a fall or let a person glide under a canopy. The wording is broad, so several products sit inside it.
The heading names these goods:
- Parachutes, the classic canopy that slows a falling person or load.
- Dirigible parachutes, which can be steered.
- Paragliders, the soft wings that pilots launch by foot.
- Rotochutes, which use spinning blades to slow a descent.
- Parts of these goods, such as canopies and other components.
- Accessories made for them.
HS 8804 code structure: Section XVII to 880400
The Harmonized System is a global naming list for traded goods. It works like a tree. Each step down adds more detail.
The first two digits point to the chapter. The first four digits point to the heading. All six digits give the exact subheading.
Most headings split into several subheadings. This one does not. Every product in heading 8804 lands on 880400, so there is no need to choose between sibling codes at the six-digit level.
The World Customs Organization sets these six digits. They are the shared part of tariff classification across countries.
8804 vs nearby Chapter 88 headings
Buyers often mix up 8804 with its neighbours. A quick comparison helps you pick the right one.
- A hang glider is an aircraft here. A paraglider is not. It goes to 8804.
- 8802 is for powered aircraft such as helicopters and aeroplanes, and also spacecraft and satellites.
- 8806 is for unmanned aircraft, which means drones.
- Parts of parachutes are not in 8807. They stay in 8804.
Is HS code 8804 the same in every country?
The first six digits are the same in all countries that use the Harmonized System. So 880400 means parachutes and related goods almost everywhere.
After six digits, each country is free to add its own digits. These national lines can split 880400 into finer groups, for example by type of part. They are also where local tariff rules attach. A code with eight or ten digits for one country may not exist in another.
To confirm the right code for your product, read the heading text first. Then check the notes for the chapter. If you are still unsure, try the HS code classifier and compare your goods with the wording above.
