8529.90.24.01 - Transceiver assemblies for the apparatus of subheading 8526.10, other than printed circuit assemblies

This HTS category, 8529.90.24.01, specifically covers transceiver assemblies intended for use in the apparatus classified under subheading 8526.10. These assemblies are critical components that perform both transmitting and receiving functions within radio-navigational, detecting, and remotely controlling apparatus. The key exclusion from this classification is printed circuit assemblies (PCAs); therefore, any functional transceiver unit that is not primarily a PCA, but rather a complete assembly of components for transmission and reception, falls here.

It is important to distinguish this category from its siblings. While other categories at this level address printed circuit assemblies, specific parts for television receivers, combinations of parts, and flat panel screen assemblies, this subheading focuses exclusively on integrated transceiver units that are not classified as standalone PCAs. This ensures that functional transmission and reception modules, rather than just their circuit board components, are correctly categorized.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, precise classification hinges on meeting the definition of a transceiver assembly for apparatus under 8526.10 and not being a printed circuit assembly. Examples might include dedicated radio modules used in radar systems or ship-to-shore communication devices, provided they are sold as a self-contained assembly for the purpose of transmitting and receiving signals.
