Customs - Tariff Book
Notes
1.
For the purposes of this Chapter, the expression "unmanned aircraft" means any aircraft, other than those of heading 88.01, designed to be flown without a pilot on board. They may be designed to carry a payload or equipped with permanently integrated digital cameras or other equipment which would enable them to perform utilitarian functions during the flight.
The expression "unmanned aircraft", however, does not cover flying toys, designed solely for amusement purposes (heading 95.03).
