Heading 8526 : Radar apparatus, radio navigational aid apparatus and radio remote control apparatus.
This heading includes :(1) Radio navigational aid equipment (e.g., radio beacons and radio buoys, with fixed or rotating aerials; receivers, including radio compasses equipped with multiple aerials or with a directional frame aerial). It also includes global positioning system (GPS) receivers. (2) Ship or aircraft navigational radar equipment (whether for mounting on the ship, aircraft, etc., or on land), including port radar equipment, and identification equipment placed on buoys, beacons, etc. (3) Blind approach landing or traffic control apparatus for airports. These are very complex. Certain types combine normal radio, radar and television devices showing at the control point the position and height of aircraft in the neighbourhood, and transmitting to the aircraft both the necessary instructions for landing and the radar picture of other aircraft in the vicinity. (4) Radar height measuring apparatus (radio altimeters). (5) Meteorological radar for tracking storm clouds or meteorological balloons. (6) Blind bombing equipment. (7) Radar devices for proximity fuses of shells or bombs. The complete fuses with their detonator fall in heading 93.06. (8) Air raid warning radar apparatus. (9) Range and direction finding radar apparatus for naval or anti-aircraft guns. (10) Radar transponders; these receive radar pulses and transmit pulses often carrying superimposed intelligence in response to those it receives. Transponders are used on aircraft to enable them to be identified by radar operators, and in instrument balloons for the determination of range and direction and the transmission of meteorological information. (11) Radio apparatus for the remote control of ships, pilotless aircraft, rockets, missiles, toys, model ships or aircraft, etc. (12) Radio apparatus for the detonation of mines, or for the remote control of machines. PARTS Subject to the general provisions regarding the classification of parts (see the General Explanatory Note to Section XVI), parts of the apparatus of this heading are classified in heading 85.29. Special purpose vehicles permanently equipped with radar or other apparatus of this heading are excluded (generally heading 87.05).
