9902.16.94 - Cathode-ray data/graphic display tubes, color, with a phosphor dot screen pitch smaller than .4mm and with less than 90-degree deflection.(provided for in subheading 8540.40.10)

This HTS category, 9902.16.94, specifically covers color cathode-ray data and graphic display tubes that meet precise technical specifications. The defining characteristics include a phosphor dot screen pitch smaller than 0.4mm and a deflection angle of less than 90 degrees. These tubes are intended for display applications in electronic devices, such as monitors and televisions, where high resolution and specific screen geometry are paramount. The "provided for in subheading 8540.40.10" notation indicates that while these tubes fall under this special classification provision, their core classification for general trade purposes is within Chapter 85, heading 8540.

As a leaf node within the HTS database, this category does not have further subcategories. Its specificity means that any goods not precisely matching the description of a color cathode-ray display tube with a phosphor dot screen pitch under 0.4mm and a deflection angle less than 90 degrees would not be classified here. This provision is distinct from broader categories that might cover other types of display tubes, components, or finished electronic devices. Its purpose is to address a very particular set of technical goods, often subject to temporary legislation or specific trade provisions as indicated by its placement in Chapter 99.
