Import Tips
• Verify MTOW certification from manufacturer documentation to confirm classification under 8806.93; exceeding 25kg shifts to 8806.94
• Include FCC/IC compliance labels and FAA registration docs for US entry; drones often face additional spectrum approval
• Avoid misdeclaration as toys (9503); provide flight controller specs to prove unmanned aircraft status
