Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 852859 for monitors that do not incorporate cathode-ray tubes, such as LCD or LED screens. These monitors are commonly used in computers, gaming systems, and professional displays.
This code specifically applies to monitors that are not classified elsewhere under 8528.52. For example, if you're importing a high-resolution LED monitor for a digital signage application, this is the correct classification.
In contrast, HS-6 852860 covers monitors that incorporate television reception apparatus. If your product can receive TV signals, you would need to use that code instead. Make sure to check the specifications of your monitor to ensure proper classification.
When classifying monitors, consider the technology used. Monitors that utilize cathode-ray tubes are classified under different codes, while those using newer technologies like OLED or IPS fall under 852859.
