AAR held that the "R&S® CMA180 Radio Test Set" is correctly classifiable under CTI 9030 40 00 as an instrument "specially designed for telecommunications." Examining its design, configuration, telecom-standard specific features and principal applications, the AAR found it is engineered for end-to-end testing of two-way and professional mobile radios, not a general-purpose test device. Relying on HSN Explanatory Notes and the principle that a specific tariff entry prevails over a residuary "other" heading, the AAR rejected the department's plea for classification under a general category and ruled that recourse to a residuary entry is impermissible when a specific telecom-test entry fully covers the goods.
