U.S. imports of unmanned aircraft, 250 g to 7 kg maximum take-off weight (nesoi) (HS 880692) totaled $943K in April 2026, traded with 13 countries.
Importers of Unmanned Aircraft, 250 g to 7 kg Maximum Take-Off Weight (NESOI) paid $17K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 5.6% on $311K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataThe 250 g–7 kg NESOI UAS weight band captures the broadest segment of commercial and prosumer drones — including agricultural sprayers, mapping platforms, and delivery prototypes — that are not designed exclusively for RC flight. Vietnam and India lead US imports under 8806920000, reflecting the diversification of drone manufacturing away from China into Southeast and South Asia. Importers sourcing from Vietnam should note that goods assembled there from Chinese-origin components may still carry Section 301 exposure depending on the degree of substantial transformation applied.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
CBP applies the substantial transformation test to determine country of origin for duty purposes. If a drone is assembled in Vietnam but its essential character — typically the flight controller, motors, and frame — originates in China, CBP may determine the country of origin is China, making the product subject to Section 301 tariffs. Importers should obtain a binding ruling or conduct a thorough origin analysis before assuming Vietnamese assembly eliminates Section 301 exposure.
CBP may request technical specifications, user manuals, and marketing materials demonstrating whether the aircraft is capable of autonomous or pre-programmed flight. If the product has GPS waypoint navigation, obstacle avoidance, or return-to-home functions, it supports NESOI classification. A binding ruling request to CBP is the most reliable way to confirm classification before large-volume shipments.
