Classification scope of subheading 8529 90 - parts for transmitters and receivers
Subheading 8529 90 of the Combined Nomenclature covers parts for apparatus of headings 8525–8528, other than aerials and aerial reflectors (8529 10). In commercial practice, this covers housings, chassis and frames for TVs and monitors, mainboards for TV receivers, power supply modules for TVs and projectors, infrared remote controls for televisions, bases and stands for monitors and TVs, back panels, covers and structural elements, and tuner cards and receiver modules. Key criterion: goods must be parts intended solely or principally for apparatus of headings 8525–8528. Classification is based on GIR Rules 1 and 6 and Note 2(b) to Section XVI.
Regulatory requirements for parts for transmitters and receivers
Parts under subheading 8529 90 are subject to the RoHS 2 Directive (2011/65/EU) if they contain electronic elements or are intended for RoHS-scope equipment. The EMC (2014/30/EU) and LVD (2014/35/EU) Directives may apply to power and electronic components. The WEEE 2 Directive (2012/19/EU) applies to finished equipment rather than typically to components, but the importer should verify the intended use. Infrared remotes as standalone consumer devices are subject to RoHS and may require CE marking. CBAM does not apply to electronics in Chapter 85.
Customs duties and ITA for parts for transmitters and receivers
Current MFN rates for subheading 8529 90 should be verified in TARIC. Parts for IT equipment may qualify for ITA 0%, particularly mainboards and electronic modules for computer monitors. Preferential rates under FTAs may be available. Imports from Russia and Belarus are subject to EU sanctions. National VAT is charged. Due to the wide range of goods, rates may vary significantly at the 10-digit TARIC code level.
Parts for transmitters/receivers - ITA and TARIC
Importing transmitter/receiver parts (CN 8529 90) into the European Union requires compliance with RoHS 2 (2011/65/EU), WEEE 2 (2012/19/EU) and CE marking. An EORI number and correct customs declaration are mandatory. MFN duty rates should be verified in TARIC, as ITA preferences or EU FTA rates (e.g. CETA, EPA, EU-Korea) may apply. Import from Russia and Belarus is subject to EU sanctions. National import VAT applies at the destination Member State rate.
