8528.72.64.40 - Exceeding 88 cm but not exceeding 113 cm

This HTS category, HTS Code 8528.72.64.40, specifically classifies television reception apparatus that incorporate video recording or reproducing apparatus and feature a flat panel screen. The defining characteristic for this subcategory is the diagonal measurement of the video display, which must exceed 88 centimeters but not exceed 113 centimeters. These are typically modern, digital televisions with integrated DVR or playback functionalities, distinguished by their screen size.

This classification differentiates itself from sibling categories primarily through the specified range of the screen's diagonal measurement. HTS 8528.72.64.20 covers devices with diagonals not exceeding 75 cm, while HTS 8528.72.64.30 includes those exceeding 75 cm but not exceeding 88 cm. Conversely, HTS 8528.72.64.60 encompasses devices with diagonals exceeding 113 cm. Therefore, the precise measurement of the screen's diagonal is the critical factor in directing an imported television to this particular subcategory.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification tree, there are no further subcategories branching from this specific code. The classification is complete once the criteria of being a television reception apparatus, incorporating video recording or reproducing apparatus, having a flat panel screen, and falling within the 88 cm to 113 cm diagonal size range are met. For practical classification purposes, importers should rely on the manufacturer's specifications for screen diagonal measurement.
