Overview
Category 8528.49 encompasses cathode-ray tube (CRT) monitors that are not specifically designed for direct connection to automatic data processing machines of heading 8471. This category serves as a residual classification for CRT monitors that do not meet the specific criteria for monochrome or color identification at the heading level, or do not qualify for classification under sibling categories. The primary function of these devices is the display of visual information, typically received from an external source, but they are not intended as standalone video reception apparatus.
This category is distinguished from its sibling, 8528.42.00.00, which specifically covers CRT monitors that are directly connectable to and designed for use with automatic data processing machines. Therefore, monitors classified under 8528.49 are generally not intended for this primary computing function.
Within this residual category, further distinctions are made based on color capability. Subcategory 8528.49.80.00 is provided for black and white or other monochrome CRT monitors. This implies that the primary subdivision within 8528.49 is the determination of whether the monitor displays information in color or solely in monochrome.
