8543.90.65.00 - Of flat panel displays other than for articles of heading 8528, except for subheadings 8528.52 or 8528.62

This HTS subheading, 8543.90.65.00, covers printed circuit assemblies specifically designed as parts for flat panel displays. It's crucial to note that this classification excludes assemblies intended for articles falling under heading 8528, unless those articles themselves are specifically excluded by subheadings 8528.52 or 8528.62. These assemblies are integral components, facilitating the display of images and information on screens, and are distinct from the complete display units themselves.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 8543.90.68.00 ("Other"), lies in the specific application. While 8543.90.68.00 captures all other printed circuit assemblies not classified elsewhere under 8543.90, subheading 8543.90.65.00 is narrowly focused on those serving flat panel displays under the specified conditions. The defining factor is the intended use and compatibility with flat panel display technology, rather than general-purpose circuit boards.

As a leaf node, this subheading does not have further subdivisions. Classification into 8543.90.65.00 requires a thorough examination of the printed circuit assembly's design and its intended application as a part for a flat panel display, ensuring it meets the exclusion criteria related to heading 8528. The presence of specific connectors, integrated circuits, and board layout geared towards driving pixel elements are key indicators for classification within this category.
