8528.72.32.00 - Other

This HTS category, 8528.72.32.00, specifically classifies "Other" reception apparatus for television that are color, non-high definition, and designed for direct viewing with a single picture tube where the video display diagonal exceeds 35.56 cm. These are televisions where the image is directly displayed on the screen rather than projected. The key criteria here are the absence of high-definition capability, the presence of a single, direct-view picture tube, and the screen size exceeding the specified measurement.

It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, 8528.72.28.00. The latter specifically covers television reception apparatus that *incorporate* video recording or reproducing apparatus, such as built-in VCRs or DVD players. The current category, 8528.72.32.00, is for those televisions that *do not* have these integrated recording or reproducing functionalities. In essence, this category captures standard color televisions with larger direct-view screens that are not high-definition and lack built-in media recording capabilities.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this code relies on the precise fulfillment of the criteria outlined above: color display, non-high definition, single direct-view picture tube, and a screen diagonal exceeding 35.56 cm, with the exclusion of integrated video recording or reproducing apparatus. Examples would include CRT televisions and early flat-panel displays that meet these specific technical and functional requirements.
