ANNEX Description of the goods Classification (CN-code) Reasons (1) (2) (3) A remote-controlled multi-rotor helicopter (so-called βdroneβ) with a diagonal length of 35 cm and a weight of 1Β 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 25Β 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 1Β 000 m. 8802Β 11Β 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 8802Β 11Β 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 8802Β 11Β 00 as a helicopter of an unladen weight not exceeding 2Β 000 kg.
