Of an unladen weight not exceeding 2,000 kg

Detailed information for HTS Code 8802.11.01

This code falls within Chapter 88, which covers aircraft, spacecraft, and their parts. Specifically, 8802.11.01 covers helicopters with an unladen weight not exceeding 2,000 kg. Further breakdowns exist based on whether the helicopter is new or used/rebuilt, and if new, further categorized by military or other use, and if 'other', broken down by weight ranges—under 998 kg or exceeding 998 kg but not 2,000 kg—or if used/rebuilt, by military or other use; choose the statistical suffix that accurately reflects these characteristics. The unladen weight refers to the weight of the helicopter in normal flying order, excluding crew, fuel, and non-permanently fitted equipment.
