Legal and explanatory notes for 8802110000
8802 11 00 CN Explanatory Notes: Of an unladen weight not exceeding 2 000 kg
This subheading covers multi-rotor helicopters (so-called ‘drones’) of different sizes which can operate autonomously (to a pre-programmed destination) or are remotely piloted by the user. However, if they have the character of toys or recreational models, they are classified under heading 9503. See the Explanatory notes to the Combined Nomenclature to that heading.
Notes to chapter 88
Note 1. For the purposes of this chapter, the expression ‘unmanned aircraft’ means any aircraft, other than those of heading 8801, designed to be flown without a pilot on board. They may be designed to carry a payload or equipped with permanently integrated digital cameras or other equipment which would enable them to perform utilitarian functions during their flight. The expression ‘unmanned aircraft’, however, does not cover flying toys, designed solely for amusement purposes (heading 9503). Subheading notes 1. For the purposes of subheadings 8802 11 to 8802 40, the expression ‘unladen weight’ means the weight of the machine in normal flying order, excluding the weight of the crew and of fuel and equipment other than permanently fitted items of equipment. 2. For the purposes of subheadings 8806 21 to 8806 24 and 8806 91 to 8806 94, the expression ‘maximum take-off weight’ means the maximum weight of the machine in normal flying order, at take-off, including the weight of payload, equipment and fuel.
Other explanatory notes for the chapter
Subheading note 1 Permanently fitted items of equipment do not include, for example, emergency equipment (for example, lifeboats, parachutes and escape chutes) and interchangeable equipment for weapons systems. Where an incomplete or unfinished machine is classified as a complete article under general rule 2(a) for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, the normal operating weight is to be used for determining the appropriate subheading.

EU classification regulations for 8802110000
Commission regulations that classified specific goods under this code. They bind customs in every member state for identical goods.
- 8802 11 00 Feb 15, 2017 · Regulation on EUR-Lex
A remote-controlled multi-rotor helicopter (so-called ‘drone’) with a diagonal length of 35 cm and a weight of 1 030 g together with a remote control unit in a package for retail sale.
The helicopter is equipped with a system to ensure stability, Wi-Fi and a global positioning system (GPS) module. The maximum flight speed is approximately 54 km/h and the flight time is 25 minutes. The remote control unit operates at a frequency of 2,4 GHz and is operated by four batteries. The helicopter can be controlled by the remote control unit (in an open area) for a distance of up to 1 000 m.
Reasons
Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8802 and 8802 11 00 . As the helicopter is equipped with advanced systems for flight and has a substantial maximum speed, it cannot be considered a toy within the meaning of heading 9503 . The helicopter is therefore to be classified under CN code 8802 11 00 as a helicopter of an unladen weight not exceeding 2 000 kg.
