Overview
This HTS category, 8528.49.05.00, specifically covers cathode-ray tube (CRT) monitors that are color and are presented in an incomplete or unfinished state, or as assemblies that do not include a display device. Crucially, these items are characterized by incorporating video recording or reproducing apparatus within their structure. Examples would include CRT monitor chassis with integrated video recorders or players, but lacking the actual CRT screen itself. The inclusion of video recording or reproducing functionality is a key defining characteristic for classification under this heading.
Distinguishing this subcategory from its sibling, 8528.49.10.00 (Other), is the explicit requirement for the incorporation of video recording or reproducing apparatus. The "Other" category would encompass incomplete or unfinished color CRT monitors that *do not* have this integrated video recording or reproducing functionality. Therefore, the presence or absence of such a video apparatus is the primary differentiator between these two sibling classifications.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories. The classification is complete at this level, focusing on the precise combination of a color CRT monitor presented as incomplete or unfinished (or as a part assembly without a display device) *and* the incorporation of video recording or reproducing apparatus. This level of specificity ensures accurate tariff application for these specialized electronic components.
