8529.10

Analysis

Subheading 8529.10 covers antennas and antenna reflectors of all kinds; parts suitable for use therewith, within heading 8529. 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 3 US tariff lines below it are national.

Every one of its 3 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: 8529.10.21 for antennas and antenna reflectors of all kinds; parts suitable for use… (duty-free), 8529.10.40 for radar, radio navigational aid and radio remote control (duty-free) and 8529.10.91 for antennas and antenna reflectors of all kinds; parts suitable for use… (duty-free).

By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing (334220). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
