Overview
This HTS classification, 8528.49.70.00, specifically covers cathode-ray tube (CRT) monitors that incorporate video recording or reproducing apparatus. These are typically high-definition, projection-type CRT monitors designed for applications where both display and recording/playback functionalities are integrated within a single unit. Examples may include specialized surveillance systems or older professional video editing workstations.
This category is distinguished from its sibling, 8528.49.75.00 ("Other"), by the explicit requirement of incorporating video recording or reproducing apparatus. The sibling category would encompass CRT monitors that do not possess this integrated functionality. The defining characteristic here is the dual capability of displaying video and having the ability to record or play back video content directly.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level signifies a definitive grouping of goods. The primary criteria for inclusion are the presence of a cathode-ray tube, a high-definition, projection-type design, and the integration of video recording or reproducing capabilities.
