8529.90.88.00 - Entered with components enumerated in additional U.S. note 4 to this chapter

This HTS subcategory, 8529.90.88.00, specifically classifies subassemblies for color television receivers. These subassemblies are characterized by containing two or more printed circuit boards or ceramic substrates, each with components already assembled. Crucially, this classification excludes tuners and convergence assemblies, which are addressed elsewhere. The defining feature is the integrated nature of multiple electronic boards working together as a functional unit within the television receiver.

The primary distinction from its sibling category, 8529.90.89.00 (Other), lies in the specific inclusion of subassemblies for color television receivers. While the "Other" category would encompass parts and accessories for the apparatus of headings 8524 to 8528 that do not fit into more specific classifications, 8529.90.88.00 targets a very defined set of components within the color television receiver system. This category is focused on complex assemblies rather than individual parts or less specialized subassemblies.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 8529.90.88.00. Therefore, the classification is final for qualifying subassemblies. The key determining factor for classification into this code is whether the assembly meets the criteria of having multiple component-laden printed circuit boards or ceramic substrates intended for color television receivers, and importantly, *not* being a tuner or convergence assembly. The additional U.S. note 4 to Chapter 85 provides further enumerated components that, when incorporated, solidify the classification within this specific sub-heading.
