8528.69.25.00 - Incorporating video recording or reproducing apparatus

This HTS classification, 8528.69.25.00, specifically covers color projectors that are high definition and incorporate a cathode-ray tube (CRT). These projectors are designed for displaying video signals, but crucially, they do not have built-in television reception capabilities. The defining characteristic of this category is the combination of high-definition projection technology, the use of CRT technology, and the absence of integrated TV tuner functionality.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 8528.69.30.00 ("Other"), is critical. While both fall under "Other" color projectors, this specific code is reserved solely for CRT-based, high-definition models. Any color projector that does not meet these exact criteria, such as those using LCD or DLP technology, or those that are not high definition, or those that are specifically designed for television reception, would be classified under the broader "Other" category.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification is determined by the specific technical characteristics: color projection, high definition, CRT technology, and the exclusion of television reception apparatus. Examples of goods that would fall here include older, high-end professional CRT projectors used for specialized display applications where CRT technology was preferred for its black levels and response times.
