8528.72.12.00 - With a video display diagonal not exceeding 34.29 cm

This HTS category, 8528.72.12.00, specifically classifies color television reception apparatus that are non-high definition, utilize a single direct-view picture tube (not projection), and have a video display diagonal not exceeding 34.29 cm, while also incorporating video recording or reproducing apparatus. This means the primary function is receiving television broadcasts, but it also possesses integrated capabilities for recording or playing back video content. Examples would include older model CRT televisions with built-in VCRs or early DVD recorders.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 8528.72.16.00 "Other," by the crucial inclusion of video recording or reproducing capabilities. If an apparatus in this general category (8528.72) lacks integrated video recording/reproducing functions, it would fall under the "Other" sibling. Furthermore, the "non-high definition" and "single picture tube" criteria differentiate it from high-definition or projection-based television systems within the broader 8528 heading.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification is finalized at this point based on the combined criteria of television reception, color display, non-high definition, direct-view picture tube, specific diagonal measurement, and the presence of integrated video recording or reproducing functionality. When classifying, ensure the device's primary function is television reception and that all specified technical parameters are met.
