8526.92

Analysis

Subheading 8526.92 covers radio remote control apparatus, within heading 8526. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 2 US tariff lines below it are national.

Every one of its 2 tariff lines is duty-free at the general rate, so classification within the subheading affects statistics and Chapter 99 measures rather than the base duty.

The US splits it as follows: 8526.92.10 for radio remote control apparatus for video game consoles (duty-free) and 8526.92.50 for radio remote control apparatus: other (duty-free).

By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Doll, Toy, and Game Manufacturing (339930) and Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing (334511). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.

Goods only reach 8526.92 once they fall within heading 8526 (radar apparatus, radio navigational aid apparatus and radio remote control apparatus). Under General Rule 6, subheadings are then compared only with others at the same level, so a product is matched against its siblings, not against lines elsewhere in the chapter.
