8528.72.16.00 - Other

This HTS classification, 8528.72.16.00, pertains to television reception apparatus that incorporate video recording or reproducing apparatus. These devices are characterized as color televisions with a single, directly viewable picture tube (non-projection type) and a video display diagonal that does not exceed 35.56 cm, but is specifically greater than 34.29 cm. The defining feature of this category is the integrated functionality for recording and/or playing back video content, distinguishing it from simpler television receivers.

Unlike the sibling category 8528.72.12.00, which covers similar color television reception apparatus with a video display diagonal not exceeding 34.29 cm, this category specifically addresses those with a screen size slightly larger, up to the 35.56 cm limit, while still incorporating video recording or playback capabilities. The inclusion of these recording/reproducing features is the critical factor for classification under this heading.

As this classification represents a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification hinges on the precise adherence to the specified screen size range and the presence of integrated video recording or reproducing apparatus within the television receiver. Examples include older model CRT televisions with built-in VCRs or DVD players, or early flat-panel televisions with similar integrated recording functionalities.
