Overview
This HTS category, 8523.29.10.00, specifically covers unrecorded magnetic media. This includes a variety of physical formats designed to store data magnetically but are not pre-loaded with any information. Examples include blank magnetic tapes (such as audio or video tapes that are unrecorded), blank floppy disks, and unrecorded magnetic strips. The key characteristic is that the medium itself is prepared for magnetic recording but has not yet been subjected to any recording process.
Within the broader heading of "Magnetic media," this subcategory, "Other," serves as a catch-all for unrecorded magnetic items that do not fit into more specific, likely unlisted, sub-classifications of recorded magnetic media. It is distinguished from any potential sibling categories by its focus solely on the *unrecorded* state of the magnetic medium.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 8523.29.10.00 is final for goods that meet the criteria of being unrecorded magnetic media and not falling under more specific classifications within the magnetic media heading. The classification relies on the absence of recorded data and the magnetic recording capability of the medium.
