Coastal Warning Buoy from China
Coastal warning buoys are large steel-framed buoys equipped with radar reflectors and whistles to warn ships of shallow waters or hazards along coastlines. They fall under tariff item 8907.90.20 as 'other buoys and beacons' because they are navigational warning devices, distinct from fishing markers or other floating structures.
