8527.13.60 - Other

This HTS category, 8527.13.60, encompasses "Other" apparatus that are radiobroadcast receivers capable of operating without an external power source and are combined with sound recording or reproducing apparatus, but do not fit into more specific subcategories within 8527.13. These goods are distinct from sibling categories like radio-tape recorder combinations (8527.13.20) and radio-phonograph combinations (8527.13.40.00), which specifically identify the type of sound reproducing apparatus integrated with the radio receiver. The primary differentiating factor for this "Other" designation lies in the absence of a specifically named reproducing mechanism like tape or a phonograph.

The products classified under 8527.13.60 represent a residual category for combined radio and sound reproduction devices that do not conform to the more precisely defined sibling classifications. This category serves to ensure comprehensive coverage of the diverse range of combined audio equipment.

Further subdivision of this category is provided by its subcategories. 8527.13.60.40 specifically addresses combinations that incorporate optical disc players or recorders, such as compact disc (CD) players. The remaining apparatus, which do not utilize optical disc technology for sound reproduction and also do not fall under the tape or phonograph categories, are then classified under 8527.13.60.80, indicating a further level of specificity for "Other" devices.
