Description

Overview

This classification covers radiobroadcasting transmission apparatus. These devices are designed specifically for the purpose of transmitting radio signals intended for public broadcasting. This includes equipment that generates and emits radiofrequency waves for the dissemination of audio content to a wide audience.

At this level of the HTS, the distinction is made between apparatus for radiobroadcasting and television. While both transmit signals, this category is exclusively for radio, as opposed to television transmission apparatus which are classified elsewhere within heading 8525. The key distinguishing factor is the nature of the signal being transmitted – audio-only for radio broadcasting versus video and audio for television.

Within the broader "Transmission apparatus" category, subheading 8525.50.70 is further divided to distinguish between specific types of transmitters and other general transmission apparatus. The subcategories 8525.50.70.10 for "Transmitters" and 8525.50.70.50 for "Other" allow for more granular classification based on the precise function and design of the radiobroadcasting equipment.
