The Padtag device is designed as a wireless location device that uses the global positioning system (GPS). It is designed to provide current location information and tracking of packages, vehicles and people by means of the global positioning satellite.

The applicable subheading for the Padtag will be 8526.91.0040, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Radar apparatus, radio navigational aid apparatus and radio remote control apparatus: Other: Radio navigational aid apparatus Other. The rate of duty will be free.

A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Michael Contino at 646-733-3014.
