Overview
This classification covers radiobroadcast receivers specifically designed for use in motor vehicles, which are not capable of operating without an external power source. Crucially, these units are combined with sound recording or reproducing apparatus, but they do not incorporate optical disc (including compact disc) players or recorders. Examples within this category would include car radios with integrated cassette tape players or digital audio recorders that are not optical disc-based.
The primary distinction from its sibling category lies in the absence of optical disc functionality. While both categories deal with combined sound recording/reproducing apparatus in motor vehicle receivers, this specific subcategory excludes devices that can play or record from CDs, CD-Rs, CD-RWs, or similar optical media. Therefore, if a vehicle's audio system includes a radio receiver and a tape deck or a solid-state digital recorder but no CD player, it would fall under this classification.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under 8527.21.40.80. Classification decisions at this level will rely on the explicit exclusion of optical disc players/recorders and the confirmed presence of other sound recording or reproducing capabilities within the motor vehicle radiobroadcast receiver.
