8528.69 - Other:

This HTS category, 8528.69, encompasses projectors that are not capable of directly connecting to and designed for use with an automatic data processing machine of heading 8471. It specifically includes projectors that fall outside the scope of the sibling category, 8528.62, which designates projectors intended for direct interface with computers. Therefore, this category captures projectors that may have other functionalities or are designed for standalone use, such as projecting content from media players or other non-computerized sources.

Unlike the sibling category 8528.62, which focuses on data projection from automatic data processing machines, this classification is for projectors that do not meet that specific technical requirement. The distinction lies in the primary intended use and connectivity. While both are projectors, the key differentiator is their designed integration with specific types of digital equipment.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist to distinguish between different types of projectors based on their display capabilities. The subcategories differentiate between color projectors and those that display only black and white or other monochrome images. This distinction is crucial for accurately classifying the projector based on its visual output technology.
