Overview
This HTS classification, 8528.72.20.00, specifically covers television reception apparatus that are capable of displaying images in color. A key defining characteristic is that these units do not incorporate a projection system and utilize a single picture tube for direct viewing. Furthermore, they are designed with a video display diagonal that does not exceed 34.29 cm, indicating their relatively compact size compared to larger television sets.
This category is distinguished from its sibling, 8528.72.24.00, by the precise measurement of the video display diagonal. While both fall under "Other, color" reception apparatus, 8528.72.20.00 applies to those with a diagonal *not exceeding* 34.29 cm, whereas the sibling category likely encompasses devices with diagonals that, while still within the broader "non-high definition" parameter, may be larger than this specific threshold. It is crucial to accurately measure the video display diagonal to ensure correct classification.
As this classification represents a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification within this heading rests entirely on the physical attributes of the television reception apparatus, specifically its color display capability, the absence of projection technology, the use of a single picture tube, and the measured diagonal length of its screen.
