8527.19.50.10 - FM only or AM/FM only

This HTS category, 8527.19.50.10, specifically covers radio broadcast receivers that are capable of operating without an external power source and are designed for FM (Frequency Modulation) reception only, or for both AM (Amplitude Modulation) and FM reception. These devices are typically self-contained units, often portable, and do not rely on connection to mains electricity to function. Their primary purpose is to receive radio signals and reproduce sound.

At this specific level of detail, this classification distinguishes itself from its sibling, 8527.19.50.25, which represents "Other" radio broadcast receivers meeting the broader criteria but not specifically designated as FM-only or AM/FM-only. Therefore, the key distinguishing factor lies in the specific radio reception capabilities and power source independence of the apparatus.

Since this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. All goods meeting the criteria of being a self-powered radio broadcast receiver, and specifically being FM-only or AM/FM-only, will be classified under this heading. Classification will depend on the precise technical specifications of the receiver, particularly its ability to tune to and decode FM and/or AM radio frequencies and its internal power supply mechanism.
