Overview
This HTS category, 8525.60.10.20, specifically classifies low-power radiotelephonic transceivers designed to operate within a narrow frequency band, from 49.82 to 49.90 MHz. These devices are characterized by their combined transmission and reception capabilities and are typically used for short-range voice communication. Their "low-power" designation implies limitations on transmission strength and range, distinguishing them from higher-power broadcasting or professional communication equipment.
When considering sibling categories, it is important to differentiate these transceivers from Citizens Band (CB) radios, classified under 8525.60.10.10. While both are transceivers, CB radios operate on different frequency bands and serve distinct communication purposes. The "Other" category at this level would encompass transceivers that do not meet the specific criteria of the sub-classification for CB radios or the precise frequency band outlined in 8525.60.10.20.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification under this specific code hinges on meeting all stated criteria: being a radiotelephonic transceiver, operating at low power, and functioning exclusively within the 49.82 to 49.90 MHz frequency range. This precise definition ensures that only the intended devices are accurately classified for customs purposes.
