Overview
This HTS category, 8528.72.68.00, specifically covers color television reception apparatus that feature a flat panel screen and have a video display with a diagonal measurement not exceeding 34.29 cm (13.5 inches). These are essentially smaller-sized color televisions designed for situations where a compact display is required, such as personal entertainment devices, portable units, or integrated displays in vehicles.
This classification distinguishes itself from its sibling category, 8528.72.72 ("Other"), by its precise dimensional limitation. While both fall under "Other" color reception apparatus with a flat panel screen, 8528.72.68.00 is specifically for units with a screen size up to 34.29 cm diagonally. Any color television reception apparatus with a flat panel screen exceeding this diagonal measurement would therefore fall under the broader "Other" classification.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. The classification is finalized at this level based on the presence of a flat panel screen, color display, reception apparatus for television, and the specific screen diagonal not exceeding 34.29 cm. It is crucial for importers and exporters to accurately measure the diagonal of the display screen to ensure correct classification and compliance with customs regulations.
