Overview
This HTS classification, 8806.94.00.00, specifically designates unmanned aircraft, commonly known as drones, whose maximum take-off weight falls within a defined range: greater than 25 kilograms but not exceeding 150 kilograms. These are typically larger and more robust unmanned aerial vehicles, often employed for commercial, industrial, or specialized applications such as aerial surveying, heavy-lift cargo delivery, or advanced surveillance. The critical differentiator for this category is its specific weight threshold, distinguishing it from smaller consumer or professional drones.
To accurately classify an unmanned aircraft under 8806.94.00.00, the maximum permissible take-off weight as specified by the manufacturer must be confirmed and fall between 25.01 kg and 150.00 kg, inclusive. This range excludes lighter drones classified under 8806.91.00.00 (up to 250 grams), 8806.92.00.00 (250 grams to 7 kg), and 8806.93.00.00 (7 kg to 25 kg). It also differentiates from the broader "Other" category (8806.99.00.00) for any unmanned aircraft exceeding the 150 kg limit. As this is a leaf node, no further subdivisions exist within this specific code.
