8529Transmission apparatus; parts suitable for use solely or principally with the apparatus of heading no. 8524 to 8528

Chapter 85: Electrical machinery and equipment

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 8529 when importing transmission apparatus like radio receivers or satellite communication devices. For example, if you're bringing in a satellite dish and its components, this code applies.

When deciding between HS-6 852910 and HS-6 852990, consider the specific components. If your shipment includes aerials or reflectors, use 852910. If it consists solely of transmission apparatus without these parts, go for 852990.

The distinction between the two HS-6 lines hinges on the inclusion of aerials. If your product is a complete system with aerials, it fits under 852910. If it’s just the transmission unit or parts not classified as aerials, then 852990 is the correct choice.
