Overview
This HTS category, 9504.30.00.10, specifically covers "Video" goods within the broader classification of amusement machines. These are typically electronic devices where the primary function involves interactive visual gameplay, often driven by a video display. Examples include dedicated video game consoles designed for home entertainment and arcade-style video game machines. The classification hinges on the presence of a video output and the interactive nature of the game controlled by the user.
Distinguishing this category from its sibling, "Other" games operated by any means of payment, is crucial. While siblings may encompass mechanical coin-operated games, traditional table games, or other non-video based amusement devices, this category is exclusively for those whose core gameplay relies on a visual display and electronic processing. The defining characteristic is the "video" element as the medium for the game experience.
As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, its scope is precisely defined by the term "Video" in the context of amusement machines operated by any means of payment. Classification decisions within this code will focus on determining if a particular amusement machine's primary mode of operation and entertainment is based on video display technology.
