8543.90.85.00 - Of flat panel displays other than for articles of heading 8528, except for subheadings 8528.52 or 8528.62

This HTS subheading, 8543.90.85.00, encompasses parts specifically designed for flat panel displays, excluding those intended for articles classified under heading 8528, and further excluding parts covered by subheadings 8528.52 or 8528.62. This means that components for standalone displays not integrated into complete television receivers or monitors falling under those specific 8528 subheadings would be found here. Examples include specialized circuit boards, backlights, or frame components solely manufactured for use in flat panel displays that are not themselves complete articles of heading 8528.

The distinction between this subheading and its sibling, 8543.90.88, lies in the exclusionary clauses. While 8543.90.88 broadly covers "Other" parts within the 8543.90.85 category, this specific subheading, 8543.90.85.00, carves out a precise scope by explicitly referencing the limitations related to heading 8528. Therefore, if a part is for a flat panel display but *is* intended for an article classified under heading 8528 (and not specifically excluded by the 8528.52 or 8528.62 subheadings), it would likely fall under a different classification, potentially within chapter 85 or elsewhere, rather than this node.

As this subheading is a leaf node, it has no further subdivisions. The classification of a specific component under 8543.90.85.00 therefore hinges entirely on its physical characteristics, its intended function as a part of a flat panel display, and the precise exclusion of its use in articles classified under heading 8528, unless specifically exempted by the subheadings 8528.52 or 8528.62.
