Overview
This category, HTS Code 8528.62.00.00, specifically covers video projectors that are designed to directly interface with and function in conjunction with automatic data processing machines (ADP machines) classified under heading 8471. These projectors are intended for displaying digital information generated by computers or similar devices, such as presentations, spreadsheets, or graphical user interfaces. The defining characteristic is their direct connectivity and intended use with ADP machines, distinguishing them from standalone entertainment projectors or those with integrated television tuners.
Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 8528.69 ("Other projectors"), is crucial. While 8528.69 would encompass projectors not exclusively designed for direct connection and use with ADP machines, this code is reserved for those explicitly engineered for computer output. This means the physical ports, supported resolutions, and internal processing capabilities are tailored for signal reception and display from ADP devices, rather than general video sources or broadcast television.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 8528.62.00.00 is final for projectors meeting the specified criteria. Importers should verify that the projector's technical specifications and intended application align precisely with the requirement of direct connection and use with an ADP machine of heading 8471 to ensure accurate customs declaration.
