8527.92.10.00 - Valued not over $40 each 🖩

This HTS classification covers radio reception apparatus that are not combined with sound recording or reproducing apparatus but are integrated with a clock function within the same housing. These devices are specifically designated for receiving radio broadcasts and are characterized by the inclusion of a timekeeping mechanism as an integral part of their design. The valuation criterion of "not over $40 each" is a crucial factor for inclusion in this specific subheading, distinguishing it from potentially similar items with a higher declared value.

When classifying under this subheading, it is important to differentiate it from its sibling category, 8527.92.50.00, which encompasses "Other" reception apparatus combined with a clock but not combined with sound recording or reproducing apparatus. The distinction lies in the specific valuation. Items classified here must meet the "valued not over $40 each" criterion. If an item meets the other descriptive criteria (radio reception, combined with a clock, not combined with sound recording/reproducing) but has a value exceeding $40, it would fall under the sibling category.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, the focus for correct classification is on meticulously applying the descriptive criteria of radio reception, the presence of an integrated clock, the absence of sound recording/reproducing capabilities, and the specific price point. Common examples within this category might include basic clock radios designed primarily for listening to broadcast radio stations where the clock is a secondary but integrated feature, and the overall unit cost is relatively low.
