U.S. exports of unmanned aircraft for passenger carriage (HS 880610) totaled $223K in June 2026, traded with 14 countries.
Last updated: June 2026 dataPassenger-carrying unmanned aircraft — the emerging category of autonomous air taxis and electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vehicles designed to transport people without an onboard pilot — are classified under 8806100000. This is one of the newest and most commercially dynamic headings in Chapter 88, reflecting regulatory frameworks still being developed by the FAA under its Urban Air Mobility (UAM) initiative. Because no top import-source data is available for this nascent category, trade professionals should monitor FAA type-certification progress and CBP binding ruling precedents as the first commercial imports materialize.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The FAA is developing certification standards for eVTOL and autonomous passenger aircraft under its Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) and powered-lift certification frameworks. Importers of such aircraft should engage with the FAA's Aircraft Certification Service early in the process, as no standardized bilateral airworthiness agreement currently covers this vehicle category.
Potentially, yes. CBP classification depends on the article's essential character and primary function. A vehicle that carries passengers but also has significant cargo capability, or one that is remotely piloted rather than fully autonomous, could be subject to classification disputes. Obtaining a CBP binding ruling before the first shipment is strongly advisable given the novelty of this product category.
