8528.69.40.00 - Other

This HTS classification, 8528.69.40.00, covers projectors that incorporate video recording or reproducing apparatus and feature a flat panel screen. These devices are designed to display visual content from various sources, but their defining characteristic is the integrated functionality to record or play back video content directly. This distinguishes them from simpler projectors which lack these recording or playback capabilities.

Within the broader category of "Other" projectors, and specifically "Color" projectors with a "flat panel screen," this sub-heading differentiates itself from its sibling category, 8528.69.35.00. The sibling category is defined by the size of the video display diagonal, specifically those not exceeding 34.29 cm. In contrast, 8528.69.40.00 is not limited by screen size in the same way, focusing instead on the functional inclusion of video recording or reproducing hardware.

As a leaf node, this classification represents a specific endpoint in the HTS structure, meaning there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, the focus for classification under this code is on verifying that the projector exhibits both a flat panel screen and integrated video recording or reproducing capabilities. Examples could include portable projectors with built-in media players and recording functions, or more advanced home theater projectors equipped with hard drives or internal memory for video storage and playback.
