Consumer camera drones (DJI Mini, Mavic, Air series) are classified under 8806.21 as remotely controlled unmanned aircraft for recreational/sports use. This heading was introduced in the 2022 HS revision. Before 2022, drones were classified under 8804 (parachutes and rotochutes) or 8526.91. Commercial drones designed for professional aerial survey use may fall under 8806.22. The camera integrated in the drone does not change the classification.
