8525.60.10 - Transceivers

This HTS category, 8525.60.10, specifically covers transceivers that are designed to both transmit and receive radio signals. These devices fall under the broader classification of transmission apparatus for radio-broadcasting or television, which incorporate reception capabilities. The defining characteristic here is the dual functionality of transmitting and receiving within a single unit.

Within the 8525.60 grouping, this code is distinct from its sibling, 8525.60.20.20, which is designated for "Other" transmission apparatus incorporating reception apparatus that do not meet the specific criteria of other subheadings. Therefore, 8525.60.10.00 acts as a placeholder for transceivers that do not fit into more narrowly defined subcategories.

To further refine classification, this category branches into specific types of transceivers. Subheadings exist for Citizens Band (CB) radios and low-power radiotelephonic transceivers operating on a specific frequency range. The existence of these subcategories highlights the importance of the operating frequency and intended use in determining the precise classification for these dual-function transmission and reception devices.
