8526.10.00

Analysis

HTS 8526.10.00 covers radar apparatus, radio navigational aid apparatus and radio remote control apparatus: radar apparatus under heading 8526 (radar apparatus, radio navigational aid apparatus and radio remote control apparatus). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in number of items.

For statistics it divides in two: 8526.10.00.20 for designed for boat or ship installation and 8526.10.00.40 for other. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.

Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 35% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 35% duty.

There is no general-rate duty on this line, which puts it with roughly 58% of the 624 tariff lines in chapter 85 that are also free. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.

The other lines in the same group are 8526.91.00 (radio navigational aid apparatus, duty-free), 8526.92.10 (radio remote control apparatus for video game consoles, duty-free) and 8526.92.50 (radio remote control apparatus: other, duty-free).
