HS Code Classification for "DRONE"
Based on the provided reference data, classifying "DRONE" requires further specification as the term is broad. Here's a breakdown of potential HS codes, depending on the drone's characteristics:
-
8806.10.00.00 – Unmanned aircraft: Designed for the carriage of passengers.
- 8806: Aircraft, helicopters, or other flying machines. This heading covers all types of unmanned aircraft.
- 06.10: Specifically for drones designed to carry passengers. Example: A large drone capable of transporting a person.
- Total Tax Rate: 55.0% (Base Tariff: 0.0%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2: 30.0%)
-
8806.21.00.00 – Unmanned aircraft: Other, for remote-controlled flight only: With maximum take-off weight not more than 250 g.
- 8806: Aircraft, helicopters, or other flying machines.
- 06.21: Covers drones designed for remote control and with a maximum take-off weight of 250g or less. Example: Small hobby drones, toy drones.
- Total Tax Rate: 55.0% (Base Tariff: 0.0%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2: 30.0%)
-
8807.30.00.15 – Parts of goods of heading 8801, 8802 or 8806: Other parts of airplanes, helicopters or unmanned aircraft For use in civil aircraft: For use by the Department of Defense or the United States Coast Guard.
- 8807: Parts and accessories of aircraft.
- 30.00.15: Specifically for parts used in civil aircraft and intended for the Department of Defense or the United States Coast Guard. Example: Drone components purchased by these agencies.
- Total Tax Rate: 55.0% (Base Tariff: 0.0%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2: 30.0%)
-
8807.30.00.30 – Parts of goods of heading 8801, 8802 or 8806: Other parts of airplanes, helicopters or unmanned aircraft For use in civil aircraft: Other.
- 8807: Parts and accessories of aircraft.
- 30.00.30: Covers other parts used in civil aircraft. Example: Replacement motors, propellers, or cameras for general use drones.
- Total Tax Rate: 55.0% (Base Tariff: 0.0%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2: 30.0%)
Important Considerations:
- Passenger Capacity: If the drone is designed to carry passengers, 8806.10.00.00 is the correct classification.
- Weight: For small, remote-controlled drones under 250g, use 8806.21.00.00.
- Parts vs. Complete Drone: If you are importing drone parts, 8807.30.00.15 or 8807.30.00.30 are appropriate, depending on the intended end-user (Department of Defense/Coast Guard vs. general civil use).
- End-Use: The intended use of the drone or its parts is critical for accurate classification.
Recommendation:
Please provide more details about the drone (e.g., passenger capacity, maximum take-off weight, intended use) for a more precise HS code determination. It is also recommended to verify the material composition and unit price of the drone, as these factors may influence tariff rates and require specific certifications.
