The AAR determined that imported wired remote controllers for air-conditioning systems are not classifiable as "parts" of air conditioners under Heading 8415 90 00 but as electrical control apparatus under Heading 8537 10 90. Applying Rule 1 of the General Rules for Interpretation and Section XVI Note 2(a), the AAR held that where a part is itself covered by a specific Heading in Chapter 84 or 85, it must be classified there rather than as a generic part. As the controllers satisfy the description of consoles for electric control under Heading 8537, that heading, being more specific, prevails over Heading 8415.
