Definition and scope

Subheading 8525 60 covers transmitters with built-in receivers (transceivers), combining transmit and receive functions in one unit. The scope includes handheld radios (walkie-talkies), mobile radios (CB, PMR, LPD), amateur ham radio transceivers (HF/VHF/UHF), DMR and TETRA professional transceivers, marine VHF and aviation transceivers, and satellite communication transceivers. The key criterion is combined transmit and receive in one device, other than telephones (8517) and base stations (8517 61). PMR 446 and CB radios also fall under 8525 60.

Regulatory requirements

Transceivers are subject to RED (2014/53/EU) as radio equipment with CE requirement. Transceivers must operate on nationally permitted frequencies - PMR 446 and CB are licence-free, while amateur and professional transceivers require radio licences. RoHS 2 and WEEE 2 apply. CBAM does not apply. Marine and aviation transceivers require additional certifications (MED, ETSO). GPSR requires EU representative.

Duty rates

MFN rates should be verified in TARIC. Transceivers may benefit from ITA 0%. Major producers: Japan (Icom, Kenwood, Yaesu), China (Hytera, Baofeng), USA (Motorola Solutions). National VAT levied.
