Heading 8529

Parts suitable for use solely or principally with the apparatus of headings 8524 to 8528

46 declarable lines

Heading 8529 covers parts that are used solely or principally with the apparatus of headings 8524 to 8528, which includes flat panel display modules, video recording and reproducing apparatus, transmission apparatus such as television cameras, radar and radio remote control apparatus, and monitors, projectors and television receivers. The heading splits first between antennas and antenna reflectors with their parts (8529.10) and other parts (8529.90). The 8529.90 lines then break out by printed circuit assemblies, parts of printed circuit assemblies, parts of television receivers, flat panel screen assemblies, and residual parts, most of them tied to the end-use apparatus.

How to choose the right subheading

Whether the good is an antenna or antenna reflector, or another kind of part: this decides 8529.10 versus 8529.90.
Whether the good is a printed circuit assembly or another part; printed circuit assemblies have their own subheading groups.
The apparatus the part serves, such as television apparatus, radar, radio navigational aid or radio remote control.
Whether the part is entered as a subassembly with two or more boards or substrates, or as a combination of parts, since these have separate lines.
Whether the good qualifies as a part of a television receiver under the additional U.S. notes referenced in the subheadings.
