This is a color projection television with a cathode-ray tube (CRT) that incorporates a built-in VHS video cassette recorder for recording and playback. It falls under HTS 8528.72.36.00 because it is a non-high definition projection-type TV with CRT that includes video recording/reproducing apparatus, distinguishing it from monitors without TV reception or recording features.

Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify CRT phosphor type and video recording mechanism meet exact subheading criteria; obtain technical specs from manufacturer

• Include FCC certification and EMI test reports as U.S. imports require compliance with radiation and interference standards

• Label as 'incorporating video recording apparatus' to avoid reclassification; watch for high definition mislabeling pitfalls
