Analysis
HTS 8526.92.10 covers radio remote control apparatus for video game consoles under heading 8526 (radar apparatus, radio navigational aid apparatus and radio remote control apparatus).
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.
The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 58% of the 624 tariff lines in chapter 85, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. 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 8526.10.00 (radar apparatus, radio navigational aid apparatus and radio…, duty-free), 8526.91.00 (radio navigational aid apparatus, duty-free) and 8526.92.50 (radio remote control apparatus: other, duty-free).
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 339930 (Doll, Toy, and Game Manufacturing), an industry of 485 US establishments employing 5,442 people. That concordance is how imports of this line are compared with US output.
