Overview
This HTS category, 8802.11.01.45, specifically classifies new helicopters of an unladen weight that falls between 998 kilograms and 2,000 kilograms, inclusive. These are generally medium-sized helicopters, often used for a variety of commercial, private, or specialized purposes. The classification hinges directly on the precise unladen weight of the aircraft, a critical factor in determining its tariff treatment.
It is important to distinguish this subcategory from its sibling, 8802.11.01.30, which covers new helicopters with an unladen weight not exceeding 998 kilograms. Therefore, any helicopter classified here must weigh more than 998 kg but no more than 2,000 kg when empty of fuel and all operating fluids. This precise weight threshold is the primary differentiator.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subdivisions for this specific classification. All new helicopters meeting the stipulated weight criteria are captured by this code. Classification professionals should ensure that the documented unladen weight of the helicopter aligns precisely with the range specified to ensure correct import duties and compliance.
