8806.92.00.00 - With maximum take-off weight more than 250 g but not more than 7 kg

This HTS category, 8806.92.00.00, specifically covers unmanned aircraft, often referred to as drones, that have a maximum take-off weight exceeding 250 grams but not exceeding 7 kilograms. These aircraft are designed for a variety of purposes, including but not limited to aerial photography, videography, surveying, inspection, and recreational flying. The critical defining characteristic for classification within this code is the precise weight range of the aircraft itself, excluding any payload it may carry.

This classification is distinguished from its siblings primarily by its defined weight bracket. For instance, 8806.91.00.00 covers lighter unmanned aircraft with a maximum take-off weight of 250 grams or less. Conversely, 8806.93.00.00 and subsequent sibling codes classify heavier drones exceeding 7 kilograms, with further distinctions made for those up to 25 kg, up to 150 kg, and then a residual "other" category for weights beyond that.

As this HTS code is a leaf node, it does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the classification of an unmanned aircraft under 8806.92.00.00 is definitively determined solely by its maximum take-off weight falling within the specified range of more than 250 grams and up to 7 kilograms. Importers and exporters should ensure accurate weighing and documentation to correctly classify these goods.
