8529.90.95.40 - Of radio navigational aid apparatus (except radar)

This HTS category, 8529.90.95.40, specifically classifies parts and accessories intended for use with radio navigational aid apparatus, excluding radar equipment. This includes components that are essential for the functioning of devices such as GPS receivers, direction finders, and other systems that assist in navigation through radio waves. The items classified here are designed to be integral to the operation of these navigational tools, contributing to their accuracy, performance, or overall utility.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling category, 8529.90.95.20, which covers parts for radar apparatus. While both fall under the broader heading for parts of radio navigational aid or radio remote control apparatus, this specific code is limited to non-radar navigational aids. It also differs from the sibling category 8529.90.95.60, "Other," which would encompass parts for radio remote control apparatus or other items not specifically defined within the navigational aid context. The emphasis here is solely on components for radio-based navigation systems.

As this node represents a leaf category within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this code relies on confirming that the part or accessory is designed for radio navigational aid apparatus (excluding radar) and meets the criteria of being an assembly or subassembly consisting of two or more fastened or joined pieces. Examples could include specialized antennas, circuit boards, or display modules specifically manufactured for use in equipment like aviation navigation systems or maritime GPS devices.
