8528.72.64 - Other

This HTS category, 8528.72.64, encompasses reception apparatus for television that incorporate video recording or reproducing apparatus and feature a flat panel screen. These goods are designed to receive television signals and also possess the functionality to record or play back video content, differentiating them from simpler television receivers. The "Other" designation within this subcategory indicates that these are not specifically covered by preceding, more detailed descriptions within the flat panel screen, color television reception apparatus classification.

The key distinguishing factor from sibling categories at this level lies in the absence of a specific video display diagonal limitation. While other categories might specify a maximum screen size, 8528.72.64 covers flat panel color television reception apparatus with integrated video recording or reproducing capabilities, regardless of the screen size, that do not fall into more narrowly defined criteria. This makes it a residual category for such integrated devices that do not meet the specific criteria of other subheadings.

This category serves as a crucial gateway to further refinement based on the physical characteristics of the video display. The subcategory "With a video display diagonal:" will further subdivide these goods based on precise measurements of the screen's diagonal, allowing for more granular classification and ensuring accurate tariff application based on the physical dimensions of the apparatus.
