Sony Trinitron KV-27FS100 CRT Picture Tube
This is a 27-inch color cathode-ray tube (CRT) designed for consumer television sets, featuring a shadow mask and phosphor-coated screen for high-resolution color display. It falls under HTS 8540.60.00 as an other cathode-ray tube, distinct from television camera tubes or monochrome tubes in other subheadings. The tube generates images via electron beam excitation of phosphors inside a vacuum envelope.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If imported as front panel assembly with pre-imprinted phosphors
Front panel assemblies with shadow mask and phosphor-coated glass qualify under the specific US note for subheading 8540.91.15, separate from complete tubes.
If defective or only the deflection yoke component is imported separately
Parts like deflection circuitry for TV receivers fall under 8529.90 television receiver parts, not complete tubes.
If monochrome rather than color display tube
Monochrome cathode-ray tubes are classified in 8540.40, while color tubes go to 8540.60.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify tube specifications match 'other cathode-ray tubes' excluding camera tubes; provide manufacturer datasheets proving phosphor coating and electron gun assembly
• Ensure vacuum integrity certification to avoid misclassification as parts
• Watch for anti-dumping duties on certain Asian-origin CRTs
