About heading 8806
Unmanned aircraft
Heading 8806 covers unmanned aircraft, meaning drones and other aircraft flown without a pilot on board. The heading splits first by whether the craft is designed to carry passengers, then separates remote-controlled flight only from all other unmanned aircraft. Within each of those groups the subheading is set by maximum take-off weight bands: 250 g, 7 kg, 25 kg, 150 kg, and over 150 kg.
