Overview
This HTS subcategory, 8527.13.60.80, encompasses radiobroadcast receivers that operate without an external power source and are combined with sound recording or reproducing apparatus, excluding those specifically incorporating optical disc players or recorders. These devices are characterized by their portability and self-sufficiency, deriving their operating power from internal batteries or other non-external means. The "Other" designation signifies that these units do not fit into more specific classifications within the broader category of combined radiobroadcast receivers.
To distinguish this category from its sibling, 8527.13.60.40, it is crucial to note the absence of optical disc functionality. Goods classified under 8527.13.60.40 will specifically feature integrated CD or DVD players/recorders, whereas this current category covers combined units that utilize other methods for sound recording or reproduction, such as cassette tapes, digital memory cards, or streaming capabilities independent of optical media.
As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification purposes rests on identifying units that meet the primary criteria: portable radiobroadcast reception, combined with sound recording or reproduction, and the exclusion of optical disc technology. Practical examples might include portable boomboxes with cassette recorders, portable music players with built-in radio tuners and recording features onto internal memory, or portable radio devices with USB recording capabilities, provided they are designed to operate without external power.
