Overview
HTS code 8528.69.10.00 specifically classifies projectors that are color, incomplete, or unfinished, and are presented without a display device. This includes assemblies that contain the essential components as defined by additional U.S. note 9 to this chapter, such as optical elements, light sources, and mounting structures, along with a power supply, but are not yet a fully functional, integrated projection unit ready for consumer use.
This category is distinguished from its sibling, 8528.69.05.00, by the absence of integrated video recording or reproducing apparatus. While both are unfinished color projectors, 8528.69.05.00 would encompass those that also include capabilities to record or play back video content. Therefore, the key differentiator is the presence or absence of video recording/reproducing functionality.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. The focus for classification under 8528.69.10.00 rests on the fact that the projector is in an incomplete state, requires further assembly or integration with a display device to become a complete unit, and is specifically a color projection device. Importers should ensure that the merchandise lacks a display device and meets the component requirements outlined in the referenced additional U.S. note for accurate classification.
