CHAPTER 88 Aircraft, Spacecraft, And Parts Thereof

²[CHAPTER 88

Aircraft, Spacecraft, And Parts Thereof
(Section Notes)

Main Notes

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).

Sub-Heading Notes

1 For the purposes of sub-headings 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 sub-headings 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.
