Combinations incorporating tape players which are incapable of recording
Analysis
HTS 8527.91.40 covers combinations incorporating tape players which are incapable of recording under heading 8527 (reception apparatus for radiobroadcasting, whether or not combined, in the same housing…).
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 8527.91.05 (articles designed for connection to telegraphic or…, duty-free), 8527.91.50 (other: other combinations incorporating tape recorders, duty-free) and 8527.91.60 (other: other, duty-free).
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 334220 (Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing), an industry of 645 US establishments employing 52,536 people. That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
