Overview
This HTS category, 8528.49.60.00, specifically classifies color cathode-ray tube (CRT) monitors that are designed for high definition display and are of the non-projection type. A key characteristic of goods within this classification is their incorporation of video recording or reproducing apparatus, distinguishing them from standard monitors that merely display video signals. This means the monitor itself has built-in functionality to record or play back video content, such as integrated VCRs, DVRs, or other similar recording mechanisms.
The primary distinction from its sibling category, 8528.49.65.00 ("Other"), lies in this integrated video recording or reproducing functionality. While 8528.49.65.00 would encompass other high-definition, non-projection, color CRT monitors that *lack* this specific recording or reproducing capability, 8528.49.60.00 is reserved for those that *possess* it. Therefore, if a monitor meets the criteria of being high definition, non-projection, color, and CRT-based, its classification hinges on whether it includes the ability to record or reproduce video content internally.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification decisions at this level are definitive, based on the presence or absence of the integrated video recording or reproducing apparatus, alongside the other defined characteristics of the display.
