HS 2022Destination DEConfidence 0.85Transmission apparatus for radio-broadcasting or television, whether or not incorporating reception apparatus or sound recording or reproducing apparatus; television cameras, digital cameras and video camera recorders > Television cameras, digital cameras and video camera recorders > Other
Section XVI: Machinery and mechanical appliances; electrical equipment; parts thereof, sound recorders and reproducers, television image and sound recorders and reproducers, and parts and accessories of such articles · Chapter 85: Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof; sound recorders and reproducers, television image and sound recorders and reproducers, and parts and accessories of such articles · Heading 8525: Transmission apparatus for radio-broadcasting or television, whether or not incorporating reception apparatus or sound recording or reproducing apparatus; television cameras, digital cameras and video camera recorders
Why this code
A dash camera records road video through a lens and image sensor to microSD, so it is a video camera recorder under heading 8525. Subheading 852581 requires high-speed characteristics (Subheading Note 1), which are not indicated. 852582 requires radiation-hardening (Note 2), which is implausible for a consumer device. 852583 requires a photocathode night-vision design (Note 3), which a standard image-sensor dash cam lacks. The residual 852589 applies. The LCD, G-sensor and any Wi-Fi or GPS are ancillary and do not change the principal function.
Rules applied: GRI 1, Chapter 85 Subheading Note 1, Chapter 85 Subheading Note 2, Chapter 85 Subheading Note 3.

Information that would confirm the code
- Does the device use a photocathode night-vision sensor rather than a standard image sensor?
- Is it designed for high-speed (over 225,000 fps) or radiation-hardened operation?
- Is the primary function live transmission (for example, cellular streaming) rather than recording?
