8540.11.10.50 - Exceeding 45 cm but not exceeding 50 cm

This HTS category, 8540.11.10.50, specifically covers color cathode-ray television picture tubes, including those used for video monitors, where the video display diagonal measures greater than 45 centimeters but not exceeding 50 centimeters. These are the electronic components responsible for generating the image on older style CRT televisions and displays.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling categories by its precise measurement of the video display diagonal. For instance, it is separate from codes 8540.11.10.30 and 8540.11.10.40, which cover tubes with smaller diagonals up to 45 cm. Conversely, it differs from codes 8540.11.10.55 and 8540.11.10.85, which are designated for tubes with diagonals exceeding 50 cm. This granular distinction ensures accurate tariff application based on the physical size of the display tube.

As this node is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 8540.11.10.50 is finalized based on the enumerated criteria: being a color cathode-ray picture tube (or video monitor tube) with a video display diagonal precisely within the specified range of exceeding 45 cm but not exceeding 50 cm.
