8528.71 - Not designed to incorporate a video display or screen:

This HTS category, 8528.71, encompasses reception apparatus for television that do not incorporate a video display or screen themselves. These are devices that receive television signals but require an external display unit, such as a monitor or projector, to present the visual output. This distinction is crucial, as it separates these signal receivers from complete television sets or devices that integrate both reception and display functionalities.

The primary sibling category to consider is 8528.72, which covers "Other, color" reception apparatus. Conversely, 8528.73.00.00 specifically addresses "Other, monochrome" reception apparatus. Therefore, 8528.71 functions as a residual category for television signal receivers that are neither explicitly color nor monochrome, but more importantly, fundamentally lack an integrated display.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist. Subcategory 8528.71.10.00 is designated for apparatus that incorporate video recording or reproducing apparatus, such as built-in hard drives or optical disc drives for recording or playback. The remaining "Other" subcategories at this level would therefore cover pure television signal reception devices that lack both an integrated screen and built-in video recording or reproducing capabilities.
