8528.72.24.00 - Other 🖩

This classification covers reception apparatus for television that are capable of displaying color images but do not meet the criteria for "high definition" televisions and are intended for direct viewing, not projection. Specifically, these devices feature a single picture tube where the diagonal measurement of the visible display screen does not exceed 35.56 centimeters (14 inches). This category encompasses television sets that would otherwise fit the description of color reception apparatus but fall within this particular size limitation for their display.

The distinction from the sibling category 8528.72.20.00 lies in the precise measurement of the video display diagonal. While both are non-high definition, direct-view color television reception apparatus with a single picture tube, this specific subcategory applies to those with a diagonal screen measurement that is greater than 34.29 cm but not exceeding 35.56 cm. Therefore, the exact physical dimension of the screen is the key differentiating factor for classification between these two closely related categories.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification into 8528.72.24.00 is final for color television reception apparatus fitting the defined size parameters. Examples falling under this code would include smaller, older model CRT televisions, or certain compact flat-panel televisions that, despite their technology, are classified based on their direct-view display diagonal not exceeding the specified 35.56 cm and not meeting high-definition standards.
