Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If incorporating satellite-based navigation like GPS
Radar with primary GPS functionality shifts to radio navigational aid apparatus rather than pure radar scanning equipment.
If when imported as a complete marine GPS/radar combo unit
Integrated GPS/radar multifunction displays fall under heading 8523 for media/speed cameras rather than standalone radar.
If for industrial process measurement radars not used in navigation
Non-navigational radar sensors for level gauging or positioning classify as measuring instruments in Chapter 90.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify radar frequency band (X-band) and power output documentation to confirm 'other' radar classification excluding airborne systems
• Include FCC certification and maritime approvals (e.g
• IEC, COLREGS) in import docs to avoid customs holds
• Beware of misclassification as radio navigational aids under 8526.91 if primarily GPS-based rather than radar scanning
