Overview

This HTS classification, 9620.00.10.00, specifically covers accessories designed for exclusive or primary use with audio recording or playback apparatus falling under HTS headings 8519 (for turntables, tape recorders, record players) and 8521 (for video recording or playback apparatus). These accessories are not standalone items but are integral to the functioning or enhancement of the specified audio-visual equipment. Examples might include specialized cables, remote controls, cleaning kits, or carrying cases that are uniquely manufactured to interface with or protect devices classified under 8519 or 8521.

This category is distinguished from its siblings by its precise functional linkage. For instance, while 9620.00.15.00 covers accessories for optical instruments (heading 9005), and 9620.00.20.00 and 9620.00.25.00 pertain to photographic and cinematographic cameras respectively, 9620.00.10.00 is exclusively for accessories of audio and video recording/playback machines. Similarly, it differs from 9620.00.30, which is for accessories used with surveying, meteorological, or scientific instruments under heading 9015. The key differentiating factor is the parent heading of the apparatus the accessory is intended to be used with.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories to detail. The classification is precise, focusing on accessories that meet the stringent criteria of sole or principal use with apparatus of headings 8519 or 8521. Importers and exporters should carefully verify the intended application of their accessories to ensure correct classification, considering that accessories designed for a broader range of equipment or for equipment outside these specific headings would fall under different classifications.
