Import Tips
• Submit engineering specs proving non-electrical function and carbon fiber composition to prevent reclassification as aircraft parts
• Label clearly as component parts, not complete drones, to stay outside Chapter 88 aircraft headings
• Check for FAA compliance markings which may trigger additional scrutiny but don't affect HTS classification
