Kaplan Turbine Blades
Adjustable propeller blades for Kaplan turbines used in low-head, high-flow hydroelectric sites, allowing pitch variation for efficiency. Typically cast from stainless steel or bronze alloys. Classified as parts of hydraulic turbines under HTS 8410.90.00.00.
Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If designed for marine propulsion
Propeller-type blades identical to ship propellers classify under machinery parts of heading 8485.
If bulk pump impellers without adjustment features
Fixed-pitch blades may go to Chapter 84 pumps if lacking turbine-specific hydraulic optimization.
If aluminum alloy blades sold separately
Aluminum articles not turbine-specific may classify under Chapter 76 aluminum structures/parts.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include pitch adjustment mechanism details and flow rate specifications in import declarations
• Obtain manufacturer's declaration of conformity for pressure vessel standards (ASME, etc.)
• Avoid reclassification as marine propellers (8485.90) by providing hydroelectric installation evidence
