8540.11.48.01 - Other

This category encompasses color cathode-ray television picture tubes, specifically those designed for high definition display, with a video display diagonal exceeding 34.29 cm but not exceeding 35.56 cm (equivalent to 14 inches). These tubes are characterized by their ability to reproduce television images in full color and their high resolution capabilities, distinguishing them from lower-definition or non-color cathode-ray tubes. The precise measurement of the video display diagonal is a critical factor in determining classification within this specific sub-category.

The primary differentiator for this classification is the defined range of the video display diagonal. While sibling categories, such as 8540.11.44.01, may cover similar high-definition color cathode-ray tubes, they are distinguished by a diagonal measurement not exceeding 34.29 cm. Therefore, tubes falling within the 34.29 cm to 35.56 cm range are specifically classified under 8540.11.48.01, ensuring accurate tariff application based on dimensional specifications.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification at this level is definitive and relies on the explicit criteria of being a color, high-definition cathode-ray television picture tube with a video display diagonal within the specified range of not exceeding 35.56 cm. This detailed breakdown ensures that these particular types of display components are accurately identified for customs purposes.
