HS Code Classification for CAR RADIO
Based on the provided reference and your input "CAR RADIO", here's a breakdown of potential HS code classifications. It's important to note that the precise HS code depends on the specific features and functionalities of the radio.
Here's a structured analysis:
- 8517.14.00.20: Telephone sets, including smartphones and other telephones for cellular networks or for other wireless networks : Other telephones for cellular networks or for other wireless networks Radio telephones designed for installation in motor vehicles for the Public Cellular Radiotelecommunication Service
- 85: Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof; sound recording or reproducing apparatus, television-image multiplier tubes, etc. (This chapter broadly covers electrical devices).
- 17: Telecommunications apparatus. (This narrows it down to communication devices).
- 14: Other telephones for cellular networks or for other wireless networks. (Specifically targets wireless communication devices, which a car radio with Bluetooth or cellular capabilities would fall under).
- 00.20: Radio telephones designed for installation in motor vehicles for the Public Cellular Radiotelecommunication Service (This specifically covers car radios designed for cellular networks).
- Current Tax Rate: 30.0% (Including a 30% additional tariff effective after April 2, 2025).
Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Functionality: If the car radio only receives AM/FM signals and lacks cellular or wireless communication features, it might fall under a different HS code within Chapter 85 (e.g., 8517.60.00 for receivers).
- Integrated Navigation/Multimedia: If the car radio includes integrated GPS navigation, DVD players, or other multimedia functions, this could affect the HS code classification. It may require a combined classification or a different code altogether.
- Material & Value: Please verify the material composition and the declared value of the car radio. This is crucial for accurate tariff calculation and potential eligibility for trade agreements.
- Certification: Depending on the specific features (e.g., Bluetooth, cellular connectivity), you may need to provide relevant certifications (e.g., FCC certification for the US market).
- Detailed Specification: Providing a detailed specification sheet of the car radio will help ensure the most accurate HS code classification.
