Parts specifically designed for unmanned aircraft (drones) covered by heading 8806 fall under 880790 when not more specifically provided for elsewhere. Classification depends on whether the part is dedicated to the drone or is a general-purpose component; a licensed customs broker should review technical specifications and any applicable CBP rulings before entry.
Yes. Communications satellite components are frequently subject to US export control regulations (EAR or ITAR), and re-imports of US-origin parts may require documentation to establish prior exportation. Importers should coordinate with their trade compliance team and, where applicable, the State Department's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls before shipment.
