9014.20.60.00 - Electrical 🖩

This HTS category, 9014.20.60.00, specifically covers electrical instruments and apparatus designed for aeronautical or space navigation. This includes a range of devices that utilize electrical principles to aid in determining position, direction, or course in the context of air or space travel. Examples might include electrical gyroscopic compasses, electrical Doppler navigation systems, or electrical inertial navigation systems, provided they are not compasses specifically classified elsewhere. The key distinguishing factor is the integration of electrical components and operation as the primary mechanism for their navigational function.

This classification is distinct from its sibling category, 9014.20.80, which encompasses "Other" navigational instruments and appliances for aeronautical or space navigation. While 9014.20.60.00 focuses solely on electrically operated devices, 9014.20.80 would cover non-electrical instruments and appliances that serve similar navigational purposes. Therefore, if a navigational instrument for aeronautical or space use does not rely on electrical power or components for its core function, it would likely fall under the "Other" sibling category.
