Overview
This HTS category encompasses new helicopters with an unladen weight not exceeding 2,000 kilograms. The focus here is on the physical attributes of the aircraft, specifically its empty weight, as a primary classification criterion. This includes a wide range of small to medium-sized civilian and some specialized military helicopters, provided they meet the weight threshold and are in new condition.
The primary distinction for this subcategory lies in its weight limit. It is separate from helicopters exceeding 2,000 kg, which would fall under a different classification. Furthermore, while this category specifies "New" helicopters, there are likely other classifications for used or dismantled helicopters within the broader helicopter chapter.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification ends with the specification of "New" helicopters within the "Of an unladen weight not exceeding 2,000 kg" group. Therefore, proper classification hinges on accurately determining the unladen weight of the helicopter and confirming its new status.
