8529.10.40

Analysis

HTS 8529.10.40 covers radar, radio navigational aid and radio remote control under heading 8529 (parts suitable for use solely or principally with the apparatus of headings 8524 to 8528). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in number of items.

For statistics it divides in two: 8529.10.40.40 for antennas and 8529.10.40.80 for other. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.

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 8529.10.21 (antennas and antenna reflectors of all kinds; parts…, duty-free) and 8529.10.91 (antennas and antenna reflectors of all kinds; parts…, duty-free).
