9801.00.10.75 - Articles provided for in headings 8801 or 8802

This classification, HTS Code 9801.00.10.75, specifically covers articles that fall under Harmonized System headings 8801 or 8802. Heading 8801 pertains to balloons and dirigibles; gliders and hang gliders; and parts thereof. Heading 8802 encompasses heavier-than-air aircraft, such as airplanes and helicopters, as well as spacecraft and parts thereof. These articles are generally eligible for duty-free return to the United States if they meet the conditions outlined in the parent category, such as having been previously exported and not having undergone any manufacturing or improvement abroad.

This category is distinct from its sibling categories which cover different types of aircraft and related articles. HTS Code 9801.00.10.77 is reserved for articles classified under heading 8804, which pertains to parachutes, and wingsuits. HTS Code 9801.00.10.79 applies to articles classified under headings 8805 (aircraft launching or landing equipment), 8806 (drones), or 8807 (parts of aircraft of headings 8801 to 8805). Therefore, the key differentiator for this specific sub-item lies in the precise Harmonized System heading under which the article itself is classified.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification at this level is determined by the definitive product coverage within headings 8801 and 8802. Importers should carefully review the descriptions and Explanatory Notes for headings 8801 and 8802 to ensure accurate classification of their returned articles.
