Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If other microwave tubes
If classified as traveling wave tube rather than magnetron based on electron beam configuration.
If industrial machinery parts
When imported as replacement part for weather radar machinery under heading 8479.
If measuring instruments
Complete radar transceiver assemblies classify as measuring instruments.

The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right HTS code — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Include NWS (National Weather Service) specifications if applicable for government procurement
• Document frequency stability parameters critical for Doppler processing classification
• Avoid bulk packaging confusion with consumer oven magnetrons (different HTS)
