Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the device includes a clock
Heading 8527 covers radiobroadcast receivers combined with a clock, so a unit with an integrated clock would fall here.
If the radio tuner is secondary to the CD player
If the principal function is sound reproduction rather than radio reception, the device may be classified as a sound reproducing apparatus.
If the device lacks a cassette mechanism
Radiobroadcast receivers without sound recording or reproducing apparatus are classified elsewhere in heading 8527.
