8540.11.10.55 - Exceeding 50 cm but not exceeding 63 cm

This HTS classification pertains to color cathode-ray television picture tubes, specifically those not designed for high definition or projection systems, and possessing a video display diagonal that exceeds 35.56 cm. The defining characteristic of this subcategory is its physical dimension: the tube's video display diagonal must measure greater than 50 cm but not exceed 63 cm. These tubes are the core component for displaying color images on traditional CRT televisions and monitors within this specific size range.

This category is distinguished from its siblings by its precise measurement of the video display diagonal. Unlike the preceding categories (8540.11.10.30, 8540.11.10.40, and 8540.11.10.50), which cover smaller screen sizes, this code exclusively applies to tubes with diagonals between 50 cm and 63 cm. It also differs from the subsequent category (8540.11.10.85), which encompasses tubes with diagonals exceeding 63 cm.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under 8540.11.10.55. Therefore, classification within this code is final based on the established criteria of being a color, non-high definition, non-projection cathode-ray television picture tube with a video display diagonal exceeding 50 cm but not exceeding 63 cm. Importers and exporters should carefully measure the diagonal of the video display area when classifying these goods.
