8528.72.72.90 - Other, including plasma-type

This HTS category, 8528.72.72.90, encompasses reception apparatus for television that feature a flat panel screen and are of a color display type, but are not classified under more specific subheadings. The "Other" designation here indicates that these are televisions not specifically defined by their display technology, such as LCD, or by other distinguishing characteristics that would place them in a more granular category. This includes, but is not limited to, plasma-type television reception apparatus.

The key distinction from sibling categories, such as those for LCD-type direct-view screens, lies in the absence of a specific flat panel display technology being the primary classification driver. While this category also deals with color, flat panel, television reception apparatus, it acts as a residual for those that don't fit into more precisely defined technological subheadings. The focus remains on the reception of television signals, with the screen being a flat panel of the color variety.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, the practical application of this classification relies on understanding what is explicitly excluded by more specific headings at the same or higher levels of the tariff schedule. Items classified here are those that meet the general criteria of color, flat panel, television reception apparatus but do not fall under any more defined technological classifications.
