8528.42.00.00 - Capable of directly connecting to and designed for use with an automatic data processing machine of heading 8471

This HTS classification, 8528.42.00.00, specifically covers cathode-ray tube (CRT) monitors that are designed for direct connection and use with automatic data processing machines, such as computers. These are distinct from televisions, as they lack integrated television reception capabilities. The key defining feature is their function as a visual output device for ADP equipment.

Within the broader category of "Monitors and projectors, not incorporating television reception apparatus," this subheading differentiates itself from its sibling, 8528.49 ("Other"), by a specific characteristic of the display technology. While 8528.49 would encompass other types of CRT monitors that do not meet the direct connection criteria for ADP machines, or potentially CRT monitors with additional functionalities not specified here, 8528.42.00.00 is strictly limited to those intended for computer system integration.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification under this code rests on confirming that the CRT monitor is indeed intended for direct connection to an automatic data processing machine of heading 8471, and that it does not incorporate television reception apparatus. Examples of goods classified here would include older CRT computer monitors, monochrome or color, used exclusively as peripherals for personal computers or workstations.
