HS-6 · Subheading

852842

Monitors; cathode-ray tube, capable of directly connecting to and designed for use with an automatic data processing machine of heading 84.71

Heading 8528 — Monitors and projectors, not incorporating television reception apparatus; reception apparatus for television, whether or not incorporating radio-broadcast receivers or sound or video recording or reproducing apparatus

Chapter 85: Electrical machinery and equipment

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 852842 when importing or exporting cathode-ray tube monitors specifically designed to connect directly to automatic data processing machines, such as computers. For example, a shipment of 20 cathode-ray monitors intended for use in computer labs would fall under this code.

This code is distinct from HS-6 852841, which covers other types of monitors that may not be specifically designed for direct connection to data processing machines. If your monitors are intended for general use without that specific connection capability, you would need to consider the other code.

The HS-6 852842 line includes monitors that utilize cathode-ray tube technology and are not equipped with television reception capabilities. This means they are strictly for data processing tasks, unlike monitors that might also function as televisions.

When classifying your products, consider whether your monitors are designed for specific data processing applications or if they have additional features like television reception, which would change the applicable HS code.
