Overview
This HTS subcategory, 8529.90.19.60, covers printed circuit assemblies (PCAs) that are not specifically classified under the radar or radio navigational aid categories. These PCAs are designed for use with apparatus falling under headings 8524 to 8528 but do not meet the specific criteria of the sibling categories within 8529.90.19. This often includes PCAs for general radio remote control devices, or complex assemblies that integrate multiple functions beyond purely radar or navigational aids, even if those functions are part of a larger apparatus covered by the parent headings.
The distinction from its sibling categories is crucial. HTS 8529.90.19.20 is exclusively for PCAs specifically intended for radar apparatus, while HTS 8529.90.19.40 applies to PCAs for radio navigational aid apparatus, excluding radar. Therefore, this "Other" category encompasses PCAs for devices such as wireless remote controllers for industrial equipment, consumer electronics, or general communication systems that do not operate as dedicated radar or navigational aids.
As this is a terminal classification (leaf node), there are no further subcategories. Classification under this heading relies on the careful determination that the printed circuit assembly is not specifically enumerated under the more precise sibling categories for radar or radio navigational aid apparatus, yet still functions as a component for machinery within the scope of headings 8524 to 8528. The principal function and intended application of the PCA are the primary considerations for its correct placement.
