8527.19.50 - Other

This HTS category, "Other" under 8527.19, encompasses radiobroadcast receivers that are capable of operating without an external power source, and which do not fall under the more specific sibling category. This sibling category, 8527.19.10.00, specifically covers such receivers valued not over $40 each, incorporating a clock or clock-timer, not combined with other articles, and not designed for motor vehicle installation. Therefore, 8527.19.50 is for battery-operated radiobroadcast receivers that are *not* subject to the specific value, clock, combination, or vehicle installation restrictions of the preceding category.

The classification within 8527.19.50 is further refined to distinguish based on the specific radio frequency bands the receiver can tune into. The subcategories provide this necessary distinction: 8527.19.50.10 covers receivers that are exclusively designed to receive FM radio signals or both AM and FM signals. This excludes receivers capable of tuning into other radio broadcasting bands, such as shortwave or longwave.

The alternative subcategory, 8527.19.50.25, acts as a residual category for all other battery-operated radiobroadcast receivers that do not meet the criteria for the "FM only or AM/FM only" classification. This would include receivers capable of tuning into a broader range of radio frequencies beyond just FM or AM/FM, provided they otherwise meet the general conditions of Chapter 8527.
