8806.24.00

Analysis

HTS 8806.24.00 covers with maximum take-off weight more than 25 kg but not more than 150 kg under heading 8806 (unmanned aircraft).

This line's footnotes point to one additional provision in Chapter 99: 9903.90.08 (measures on products of Russia). Chapter 99 duties are added on top of the general rate for goods of the countries they name, and they change more often than the rest of the schedule, so check the current CBP guidance before you rely on a total.

The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 96% of the 28 tariff lines in chapter 88, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.

Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 30% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 30% duty.

Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing), an industry of 358 US establishments employing 172,941 people. That concordance is how imports of this line are compared with US output.
