8529.90.93.45 - Convergence assemblies, focus coils and degaussing coils

This HTS category, 8529.90.93.45, specifically classifies convergence assemblies, focus coils, and degaussing coils that are designed for use with television receivers. These components are critical for the proper functioning of older cathode ray tube (CRT) televisions. Convergence assemblies are responsible for ensuring that the red, green, and blue electron beams align precisely at each point on the screen, creating a sharp and accurate image. Focus coils are used to maintain the sharpness of the electron beam, and degaussing coils are employed to remove residual magnetism that can distort the picture.

Within the broader category of "Other" parts for television receivers, this specific subheading differentiates itself by detailing the precise nature of these specialized electronic components. While sibling category 8529.90.93.80 covers other miscellaneous parts not specifically enumerated, 8529.90.93.45 is dedicated to these distinct, functional sub-assemblies essential for image generation in CRT technology. The key differentiating factor is the specific function and construction of these coils and assemblies, directly related to electron beam manipulation within the television's picture tube.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification under 8529.90.93.45 rests on identifying goods that are unequivocally convergence assemblies, focus coils, or degaussing coils, and that are intended for use with television receivers. Their physical characteristics and primary purpose in image formation are the definitive criteria for classification.
