Overview
HTS Code 8517.62.00.90, described as "Other," encompasses a range of apparatus for the transmission or reception of data that do not fit into the more specific subheadings within 8517.62. This category captures devices whose primary function is to receive, convert, and transmit or regenerate voice, images, or other data, and are designed for communication within wired or wireless networks, excluding those specifically classified as modems or switching/routing apparatus.
To differentiate this category from its siblings, consider the defined scope of each. HTS Code 8517.62.00.10 specifically covers modems used in conjunction with data processing machines of heading 8471. HTS Code 8517.62.00.20 is reserved for switching and routing apparatus, which perform distinct network traffic management functions. Therefore, 8517.62.00.90 acts as a residual classification for other similar transmission and reception apparatus that do not meet the specific criteria for modems or dedicated switching/routing equipment.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within this "Other" category requires careful consideration of the apparatus's core functionality and its intended use within a network. Examples might include certain types of wireless access points not specifically designed as routers, network interface cards performing similar functions, or devices that facilitate data bridging or conversion within a network environment, provided they do not align with the more defined sibling categories.
