Last updated: April 2026 dataCovering components for the full range of non-powered and unmanned aircraft described in headings 8801, 8802, and 8806 — from gliders and balloons to commercial drones — this heading's most commercially significant subdivision is parts of communications satellites (8807903000), which enters a specialized regulatory and export-control environment distinct from conventional aviation parts. Civil aircraft parts for DOD/USCG use (8807909015) and general commercial civil aircraft parts (8807909030) carry duty-free eligibility under the WTO Civil Aircraft Agreement, while military spacecraft and aircraft parts (8807909060) are classified separately. Germany and Canada are the leading US import sources, underscoring the transatlantic aerospace supply chain's depth in this segment.

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.
