8528.69.55.00 - Incorporating video recording or reproducing apparatus

This HTS category, 8528.69.55.00, specifically covers color projectors that are designed to incorporate video recording or reproducing apparatus. These are distinct from simpler projectors that may only display an image. The inclusion of recording or reproducing functionality is the defining characteristic for items falling under this subheading.

Compared to its sibling category, 8528.69.60.00 (Other), this subheading is more granular. The "Other" category would encompass color projectors that *do not* include integrated video recording or reproducing capabilities. Therefore, the key differentiator lies in the presence or absence of this specific video functionality within the projector itself.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification under this code is definitive for color projectors that possess built-in video recording or reproducing features, assuming they meet all other criteria of the parent headings, such as not incorporating television reception apparatus. Examples might include high-end presentation projectors with built-in hard drives for storing and replaying video content, or devices designed for creating and editing video directly from the projector interface.
