Sub-classifications
Overview
This HTS category, 8528.72, specifically encompasses television reception apparatus that are designed to display images in color. This includes a wide range of products such as color televisions, color monitors that incorporate television reception tuners, and video recording/reproducing apparatus that are primarily designed for the reception and display of television broadcasts. The defining characteristic for classification under this heading is the capability to receive and present television signals in full color.
This category is distinguished from its sibling, 8528.71, which covers television reception apparatus not designed to incorporate a video display or screen, and 8528.73.00.00, which is reserved for monochrome television reception apparatus. Therefore, 8528.72 is exclusively for color-displaying television reception devices, differentiating it based on the color output of the displayed image.
Within this category, further subdivisions exist to classify color television reception apparatus based on their display technology and specifications. These subcategories address variations such as those with cathode-ray tubes (CRT), flat panel screens (like LCD, LED, OLED), and projection-type televisions. Additional distinctions are made based on whether the apparatus is considered high definition (HD) or non-high definition, and by the screen size or technology employed, allowing for precise classification based on the physical characteristics and technical capabilities of the unit.
