8529.90.95 - Assemblies and subassemblies, consisting of 2 or more parts or pieces fastened or joined together

This HTS category, 8529.90.95, specifically covers assemblies and subassemblies that are composed of two or more interconnected parts or pieces. The defining characteristic is the combined nature of these components, forming a functional unit that is intended for use with specific types of apparatus outlined in headings 8524 to 8528. These assemblies are not complete apparatus themselves but rather integral components thereof, requiring further integration or assembly to function as part of a larger electronic system.

At this level of detail, 8529.90.95 serves as a catch-all for components that do not fit into more specific subcategories within the "Other" classification. It is distinguished from its sibling category, 8529.90.97, by the explicit requirement of being composed of multiple joined or fastened parts. If a component is a single, integrated piece, it would not fall under 8529.90.95, even if it serves a similar purpose.

The subcategories within 8529.90.95 provide further refinement based on the primary function of the apparatus to which these assemblies are intended to be fitted. These subdivisions include assemblies for radar apparatus, those for radio navigational aid apparatus (excluding radar), and a residual "other" category for assemblies not fitting the more specific designations. This hierarchical breakdown allows for precise classification based on the end-use application of the assembled components within the broader spectrum of radio and radar systems.
