(3)
A remote-controlled multi-rotor helicopter (so-called ‘drone’) with a diagonal length of 35 cm and a weight of 1 030 g together with a remote control unit in a package for retail sale.
The helicopter is equipped with a system to ensure stability, Wi-Fi and a global positioning system (GPS) module. The maximum flight speed is approximately 54 km/h and the flight time is 25 minutes.
The remote control unit operates at a frequency of 2,4 GHz and is operated by four batteries.
The helicopter can be controlled by the remote control unit (in an open area) for a distance of up to 1 000 m.
8802 11 00
Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8802 and 8802 11 00.
As the helicopter is equipped with advanced systems for flight and has a substantial maximum speed, it cannot be considered a toy within the meaning of heading 9503.
The helicopter is therefore to be classified under CN code 8802 11 00 as a helicopter of an unladen weight not exceeding 2 000 kg.
