8527.91.60.80 - Other

This HTS category, 8527.91.60.80, encompasses reception apparatus for radiobroadcasting that are combined with sound recording or reproducing apparatus, and are not elsewhere specified. This includes devices that are designed to receive radio signals and also possess the functionality to record or play back audio, but do not fit into more specific classifications. Examples might include portable radios with built-in cassette recorders or digital voice recorders, where the primary function remains radio reception.

The crucial distinction for this category lies in its "Other" designation, meaning it captures devices not covered by the more specific sibling category. In this instance, it excludes reception apparatus combined with sound recording or reproducing apparatus that specifically incorporate optical disc players or recorders (HTS 8527.91.60.40). Therefore, if a radio-receiver with sound recording capabilities uses a technology other than optical discs for its recording or playback, such as magnetic tape or solid-state memory, it would fall under this classification.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to detail. Classification into 8527.91.60.80 is final once the goods are identified as a radio-broadcasting reception apparatus, combined with sound recording or reproducing apparatus, and not involving optical disc technology for such functions. The focus remains on the primary purpose and the presence of combined sound recording/reproducing capabilities, excluding those with optical disc media.
