Overview
This HTS category, 8528.59, encompasses "other" monitors that are not capable of directly connecting to and designed for use with an automatic data processing machine of heading 8471. This implies monitors that serve a different primary function or have alternative connectivity methods. Examples include standalone display units for industrial equipment, medical devices, or specialized video surveillance systems, where the primary interface is not a data processing machine as defined in heading 8471.
The key distinction from its sibling category, 8528.52.00.00, lies in the intended use and primary connection method. While 8528.52.00.00 specifically covers monitors designed to interface directly with automatic data processing machines (like computer monitors), this category captures monitors with other primary applications or connection protocols. The absence of direct ADP machine connectivity is the defining characteristic.
Within this "other" category, further subdivisions exist to refine classification based on color capabilities. The existence of subcategories like "Color" and "Black and white or other monochrome" allows for precise identification and taxation of monitors based on their display technology. This ensures that variations in display type are adequately accounted for within the tariff schedule.
