8528.49.35.00 - Incorporating video recording or reproducing apparatus

This HTS category, 8528.49.35.00, specifically covers cathode-ray tube (CRT) monitors that are color, non-high definition, designed for direct viewing (non-projection), and feature a video display diagonal exceeding 35.56 cm, while also incorporating video recording or reproducing apparatus. These devices are essentially CRT monitors with integrated functionality to record or play back video content.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 8528.49.40.00 ("Other"), is the explicit inclusion of video recording or reproducing apparatus. The sibling category would encompass color CRT monitors meeting the size and display specifications but lacking this integrated recording/reproducing functionality. Therefore, the presence of built-in video recording or playback capabilities is the key differentiator for classification under 8528.49.35.00.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification under this specific code hinges on the confluence of all the defined characteristics: color CRT technology, non-high definition resolution, direct viewing (non-projection), a diagonal screen size greater than 35.56 cm, and the integral presence of video recording or reproducing apparatus. Examples could include older CRT televisions that also functioned as VCRs or DVRs, or specialized industrial CRT monitors with integrated recording features.
