Overview
This HTS category, 8526.92.10.00, specifically covers radio remote control apparatus designed for use with video game consoles. These devices transmit signals wirelessly to control various functions and actions within video games. Examples include game controllers that operate via radio frequency, enabling cordless gameplay. The defining characteristic for this classification is the intended application with video game consoles, distinguishing them from more general-purpose radio remote controls.
At this level of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, 8526.92.10.00 is a distinct classification from its sibling category, 8526.92.50.00, which encompasses "Other" radio remote control apparatus. While both fall under the broader umbrella of radio remote control apparatus, this specific code is narrowly defined for video game console applications. The sibling category would therefore cover radio remote controls for other purposes, such as industrial equipment, home automation systems, or other electronic devices not explicitly related to video gaming.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories for this specific code. Therefore, the classification is finalized at this level, and all radio remote control apparatus intended for video game consoles should be assigned to 8526.92.10.00. The focus for classification remains on the function and primary end-use of the apparatus.
