Overview
This HTS classification, 8528.59.25.00, specifically covers color monitors that utilize a flat panel screen and have a video display with a diagonal measurement not exceeding 34.29 centimeters (approximately 13.5 inches). These devices are designed for displaying visual output from external sources, such as computers or gaming consoles, and do not incorporate integrated television reception apparatus.
The critical distinguishing feature of this category, compared to its sibling 8528.59.33 ("Other"), lies in the specific diagonal screen size limitation. While 8528.59.33 would encompass other color monitors with flat panel screens that do not meet the 34.29 cm diagonal constraint, this subcategory is exclusively for those falling within that smaller screen dimension.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification is definitive for color, flat panel monitors with display diagonals of 34.29 cm or less, assuming they also meet the general criteria for monitors rather than integrated television reception apparatus. Practical examples include smaller portable monitors, many models of netbook or laptop displays, and specialized displays used in embedded systems where screen size is a primary consideration.
