8528.69.05.00 - Incorporating video recording or reproducing apparatus

This HTS classification, 8528.69.05.00, specifically covers color projectors that are incomplete or unfinished. These items include assemblies where the essential components (power supply, and parts specified in additional U.S. note 9 to this chapter) are present, but the final display device is absent. This category is designed for projector units that are not yet fully functional as display devices and require further assembly or integration of a display panel to become a complete projector.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling category, 8528.69.10.00 ("Other"), by the specific criteria of being incomplete or unfinished. While both fall under "Other" color projectors, this subcategory isolates those units that are explicitly presented without a display device, indicating they are in a pre-production or assembly stage. The inclusion of components such as a power supply is a defining characteristic for items classified here.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus remains on clearly defining the scope of "incomplete or unfinished" color projectors, which are intended for further manufacturing or integration into a complete display system, and are not offered as ready-to-use projector units.
