The apparatus has a warning siren which is activated by the speeding motor vehicle. The applicable subheading for the "Electro-Radar" trailer will be 8526.10.0040, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Radar apparatus, radio navigational aid apparatus and radio remote control apparatus: Radar apparatus... other.
