HS-6 · Subheading
852791
Radio-broadcast receivers n.e.c. in heading no. 8527; combined with sound recording or reproducing apparatus
Heading 8527 — Reception apparatus for radio-broadcasting, whether or not combined, in the same housing, with sound recording or reproducing apparatus or a clock.
Chapter 85: Electrical machinery and equipment
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 852791 when importing or exporting radio-broadcast receivers that are not classified elsewhere in heading 8527 and are combined with sound recording or reproducing apparatus. An example could be a tabletop radio that includes a cassette player.
This code is specifically for radio-broadcast receivers that also have sound recording capabilities, distinguishing them from simpler receivers under HS-6 852792, which do not have recording functions. If your product is solely a radio receiver, consider using HS-6 852792 instead.
When classifying a product under this code, ensure it meets the criteria of being a radio receiver with integrated sound recording or reproducing features. For instance, a portable radio with built-in CD playback would fall under this classification.
If you're dealing with devices that include both radio reception and sound recording, it's crucial to verify the exact specifications to avoid misclassification. Products that are purely sound recording devices without radio capabilities should be classified under different codes.
