Overview
This HTS category, 8528.72.04.00, specifically covers reception apparatus for television that incorporate sound or video recording or reproducing apparatus, and are presented in color. Crucially, these units are considered incomplete or unfinished, meaning they are provided without a display device. This often includes assemblies that contain all the necessary components for a television receiver, as defined by additional U.S. notes, along with a power supply, but require a separate display to function as a complete television.
The distinction between this category and its sibling, 8528.72.08.00 ("Other"), lies in the state of completeness. While 8528.72.08.00 would encompass other color television reception apparatus that do not fit the specific "incomplete or unfinished" criteria of this subcategory, 8528.72.04.00 is reserved for those units intentionally presented without a display, often for specialized integration or manufacturing purposes. This focus on the absence of a display device is the primary differentiator.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories under 8528.72.04.00. The classification is complete at this level, and importers should ensure their goods meet the specific criteria of incorporating video recording or reproducing apparatus and being presented in an unfinished state without a display device, alongside meeting the color reception requirements.
