8529.10 - Antennas and antenna reflectors of all kinds; parts suitable for use therewith:

This HTS category, 8529.10, specifically covers antennas and antenna reflectors, along with any parts designed for their sole or principal use. This includes a wide array of devices used to transmit, receive, or direct radio waves, such as those found in communication systems, broadcasting, and even satellite dishes. The emphasis is on components whose function is intrinsically linked to the operation of an antenna system.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 8529.90 ("Other"), is crucial. While 8529.90 would encompass parts for apparatus of headings 8524 to 8528 that are not antennas or antenna reflectors themselves, 8529.10 is exclusively for the antenna components. For instance, a universal power supply for various electronic devices would fall under 8529.90, whereas a specialized parabolic dish used for satellite communication would be classified under 8529.10.

The subcategories within 8529.10 further refine the classification based on the intended application of the antenna. For example, 8529.10.21 is designated for antennas specifically intended for television reception or transmission. Similarly, 8529.10.40 addresses antennas used in radar systems or for radio navigational aids, highlighting the specific technological purpose of these devices. The "Other" subcategory, 8529.10.91, serves as a catch-all for antennas and their parts not specifically enumerated in the preceding subheadings.
