Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 852872 when importing or exporting television reception apparatus that includes a color video display or screen. This could include items like flat-screen TVs or monitors designed for video playback without built-in TV tuners. For example, a shipment of LED monitors intended for use in digital signage would fall under this code.

This line specifically covers reception apparatus that does not have television reception capabilities but still incorporates a color video display. In contrast, HS-6 852871 applies to similar devices that do include television reception capabilities, such as smart TVs.
