8529.10.21 - Television

HTS code 8529.10.21 specifically covers antennas designed for use with televisions. This category encompasses a wide range of television receiving antennas, including terrestrial antennas, satellite dish antennas, and indoor rabbit-ear style antennas. The primary function of these goods is to capture broadcast television signals, whether analog or digital, for reception by television sets.

It is important to distinguish this category from its siblings. HTS code 8529.10.40 covers antennas for radar, radio navigational aids, and radio remote control devices, which are used for entirely different purposes than television reception. Furthermore, 8529.10.91.00 serves as a residual category for "other" antennas not specifically classified elsewhere, and should only be utilized when an antenna clearly does not fit the specific criteria for television, radar, or radio navigational aids.

Within the television antenna classification, subcategories exist to further refine the scope. For instance, 8529.10.21.90 covers "other" television antennas that do not fall under more specific descriptions. The presence of these subcategories highlights the need for detailed examination of antenna design, intended application, and any accompanying specifications to ensure accurate classification.
