8540.60.00.65 - Exceeding 30 cm but not exceeding 36 cm

This HTS classification covers cathode-ray tubes (CRTs) specifically designed for video display purposes, where the diagonal measurement of the screen falls within a precise range. These tubes are characterized by their internal electron beam technology used to generate images on a phosphorescent screen. The "Exceeding 30 cm but not exceeding 36 cm" descriptor refers to the physical dimensions of the viewable screen area, a critical factor for distinguishing these tubes from others in the same chapter.

This category is distinct from its sibling entries based on the screen's diagonal measurement. HTS code 8540.60.00.20 encompasses CRTs with screens not exceeding 30 cm in diagonal, while 8540.60.00.80 covers those exceeding 36 cm. Therefore, the classification hinges on precise dimensional criteria, ensuring accurate tariff application for tubes falling within this specific size bracket.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 8540.60.00.65 is final for cathode-ray video display tubes with a screen diagonal measuring more than 30 cm and up to and including 36 cm. Examples would include CRTs commonly found in older computer monitors and televisions within this size range.
