8528.49.45.00 - Incorporating video recording or reproducing apparatus

This HTS category, 8528.49.45.00, specifically classifies color cathode-ray tube (CRT) monitors that are not high definition and are of the projection type, with the additional characteristic of incorporating video recording or reproducing apparatus. These are typically specialized monitors designed for applications where video playback or recording functionality is integrated directly into the CRT display unit. Examples might include older professional video editing monitors or specialized surveillance monitors with integrated DVR capabilities.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 8528.49.50.00, which covers "Other" non-high definition, projection type CRT monitors. The key differentiator here is the explicit inclusion of video recording or reproducing apparatus within the monitor itself. The sibling category would encompass projection type CRT monitors that lack this integrated video recording or reproducing functionality.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under 8528.49.45.00 is definitive for color, non-high definition, projection-type CRT monitors that contain integrated video recording or reproducing capabilities, provided they are not classified elsewhere under more specific provisions.
