8528.59.15.00 - With a video display diagonal not exceeding 34.29 cm

This HTS category, 8528.59.15.00, specifically classifies color monitors that feature a flat panel screen and incorporate video recording or reproducing apparatus. The defining characteristic for inclusion in this subcategory is the presence of integrated functionality to record or play back video, such as a built-in DVD player, Blu-ray drive, or digital video recorder. These devices will also have a video display diagonal measuring not exceeding 34.29 cm (approximately 13.5 inches).

This classification is distinguished from its sibling category, 8528.59.23.00, which covers "Other" color flat panel monitors. The primary differentiator lies in the presence of video recording or reproducing capabilities; the sibling category is for monitors that *do not* possess these integrated recording or playback features. Therefore, a monitor with a built-in VCR or similar apparatus would fall here, while a standard computer monitor of similar size and screen technology would be classified under the sibling.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level is determined by the combination of screen type (flat panel), color display, integrated video recording/reproducing capability, and the specified diagonal screen measurement. Items classified here are essentially multimedia displays with added playback or recording functionality within the specified size constraints.
