8529.90.04.00 - Tuners 🖩

This HTS category, 8529.90.04.00, specifically covers "Tuners." Tuners are essential components within television apparatus, responsible for receiving and selecting broadcast signals (e.g., over-the-air, cable, satellite) and converting them into a format that the television's display and audio systems can process. They are distinct from other printed circuit assemblies for television apparatus due to their specialized function in signal reception and tuning.

While sibling categories may encompass other printed circuit boards or subassemblies for television receivers, this specific classification is dedicated solely to the tuner module itself. It excludes general printed circuit boards, convergence assemblies, or other subassemblies that do not perform the primary function of signal tuning. The focus here is on the dedicated electronic assembly that actively selects and demodulates broadcast frequencies.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification under this heading will rely on the precise definition of a tuner and its integration into television apparatus, ensuring that only components dedicated to signal tuning are classified here, as opposed to broader circuit boards or other subassemblies.
