8527.99 - Other:

This HTS category, 8527.99, encompasses reception apparatus for radiobroadcasting that do not fit into the more specific subdivisions of 8527.91 (combined with sound recording or reproducing apparatus) or 8527.92 (combined with a clock but not sound recording/reproducing apparatus). The "Other" designation signifies a residual category for devices that receive radio broadcasts and may incorporate other features, but not in a manner that aligns with the preceding sibling subheadings. This typically includes radio receivers that are solely designed for broadcast reception or those with incidental features not considered primary functions for classification under other headings.

To effectively classify goods within 8527.99, it is crucial to differentiate them from their siblings. If a radio broadcasting reception apparatus is integrated with a sound recording or reproducing device within the same housing, it would fall under 8527.91. Similarly, if the apparatus primarily receives radio broadcasts but is combined with a clock as a secondary feature, without sound recording/reproducing capabilities, it would be classified under 8527.92. This residual category is for all other such reception apparatus.

Within 8527.99, further distinctions are made through its subcategories. 8527.99.10.00 specifically addresses infant nursery monitor systems, which are pre-packaged sets containing a radio transmitter, electrical adapter, and radio receiver. The subcategory 8527.99.15.00 covers other radio receivers that do not fall under the nursery monitor specification. Finally, 8527.99.40.00 serves as a further residual for any other reception apparatus that do not qualify for the more specific sub-classifications within this "Other" category.
