U.S. exports of remote-controlled unmanned aircraft, 7 kg to 25 kg maximum take-off weight (HS 880623) totaled $5.0M in July 2026.
Importers of Remote-Controlled Unmanned Aircraft, 7 kg to 25 kg Maximum Take-Off Weight paid $56K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 7.2% on $778K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Taiwan leads US imports of remote-controlled unmanned aircraft in the 7–25 kg take-off weight class, followed by Israel and Canada — a supplier mix that reflects both commercial drone manufacturing and defense-adjacent production. Classified under a single 10-digit line (8806230000), these mid-weight RC UAS are commonly used in precision agriculture, infrastructure inspection, and tactical reconnaissance applications. Importers should be aware that Chinese-origin UAS and components have faced heightened scrutiny under Section 301 measures, and that FAA registration and operational authorization requirements apply domestically regardless of import classification.

The 8806.23 subheading is reserved strictly for aircraft designed for remote-controlled flight only. UAS capable of autonomous or pre-programmed flight modes — even if they also accept manual RC input — are generally classified under the NESOI (not elsewhere specified or included) subheadings in 8806.9x rather than the RC-specific 8806.2x series. Importers should review the aircraft's operational specifications carefully and consult a licensed customs broker when autonomous capability is present.
Imports from China in this category may be subject to Section 301 tariffs. Taiwan, Israel, and Canada — the leading suppliers under this heading — are not currently subject to Section 301 measures, though importers should verify the applicable tariff treatment at the time of entry, as trade-remedy orders can change.
