8529.90.97.20 - Of radar apparatus

This HTS classification, 8529.90.97.20, specifically covers parts and accessories that are designed for use with radar apparatus. This includes components, subassemblies, and accessories intended to function as integral parts of systems that detect the presence, direction, distance, and speed of objects by using radio wave reflections. Examples of items that would fall under this heading include specialized antennas for radar systems, signal processing units dedicated to radar functions, or display components specifically engineered for radar readouts.

This category is distinct from its siblings, 8529.90.97.40 ("Of radio navigational aid apparatus (except radar)") and 8529.90.97.60 ("Other"). While all fall under the broader umbrella of "Other" parts for apparatus of headings 8524 to 8528, this specific heading focuses exclusively on components that are integral to the operation of radar equipment. It excludes parts for radio navigational aids that do not employ radar principles and other miscellaneous parts not specifically dedicated to radar apparatus.

As this classification represents a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the primary focus for classification under 8529.90.97.20 is to confirm that the part or accessory's sole or principal use is in conjunction with radar apparatus. This involves evaluating the design, functionality, and intended application of the item to ensure it meets the criteria for inclusion within this specialized category.
