GE LM2500 Marine Gas Turbine
The GE LM2500 is a lightweight, high-power aeroderivative gas turbine used for marine propulsion in frigates, destroyers, and fast ferries. It falls under HTS 8406.10.90.00 as it is a vapor turbine (gas turbine) specifically designed for marine propulsion but not classified as a steam turbine or specific high-speed model under other subheadings. This classification covers other turbines for marine use beyond basic steam types.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If charged solely with air and over 5,000 kW
Gas turbines not specifically for marine propulsion may classify under Chapter 84 heading 8411 for turbojets and turbopropellers if meeting power and air-charge criteria.
If imported as part of a complete marine propulsion system
Machines for naval propulsion not elsewhere specified fall under 8479 as unclassified machinery when sold as integrated sets rather than standalone turbines.
If mounted on a vessel hull as a complete unit
Vessels and floating structures with integrated turbines classify under Chapter 89, changing from parts to complete marine structures.
