8519.30.10.00 - With automatic record changing mechanism

This HTS category, 8519.30.10.00, specifically covers turntables (record-decks) equipped with an automatic record-changing mechanism. These are devices designed to play vinyl records, where the mechanism allows for the sequential playing of multiple records without manual intervention after the initial loading. The key distinguishing feature is the presence of this automatic record-changing capability, differentiating them from simpler turntables that require manual placement and removal of each record.

This sub-classification is a subset of the broader category for turntables (record-decks) under HTS 8519.30. The primary sibling category, 8519.30.20.00, covers "Other" turntables, which would encompass those lacking the automatic record-changing feature. Therefore, classification into 8519.30.10.00 hinges on the presence and functionality of the automatic record-changing mechanism.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. The distinguishing factor of the automatic record-changing mechanism is sufficiently precise to delineate this product at this level of detail within the HTS. Examples of goods falling under this HTS code would include vintage automatic record changers built into larger stereo systems or standalone automatic record-playing consoles.
