Analysis
HTS 8526.92.50 covers radio remote control apparatus: other 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.
Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 58% of the 624 tariff lines in chapter 85. 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 8526.92.10 (radio remote control apparatus for video game consoles, duty-free).
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 334511 (Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing), an industry of 522 US establishments employing 127,864 people. That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
