8528.49.40.00 - Other

This HTS category, 8528.49.40.00, covers color cathode-ray tube (CRT) monitors that are not high definition and are designed for direct viewing rather than projection. Crucially, these monitors feature a single picture tube with a video display diagonal exceeding 35.56 centimeters. They are intended solely for displaying visual information and do not incorporate television reception apparatus.

This classification specifically excludes monitors that incorporate video recording or reproducing apparatus, which are classified under HTS 8528.49.35.00. Therefore, to fall within this category, the CRT monitor must exclusively function as a display device, without any built-in media recording or playback capabilities. The size specification of the video display diagonal is a key determinant for inclusion.

As a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories branching from 8528.49.40.00. This means that any color CRT monitor meeting the specified criteria—non-high definition, direct viewing, single picture tube, and a video display diagonal greater than 35.56 cm—will be classified directly under this code, provided it does not incorporate video recording or reproducing apparatus.
