About HS Code 852842
This HS code specifically identifies Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) monitors that are designed to connect directly to and function as the primary display for automatic data processing machines (computers) falling under HS 8471. While largely obsolete in new production, these monitors still appear in international trade, primarily for vintage computer enthusiasts, industrial applications requiring specific legacy hardware, or in developing markets where cost-effectiveness and repairability are paramount. Importers might include specialized electronics recyclers, vintage tech dealers, or businesses maintaining older industrial systems. Exporters are often companies dealing in refurbished electronics or those liquidating old stock. Key trade considerations involve proper handling due to the fragile nature of CRTs and lead content, as well as ensuring compliance with e-waste regulations in importing countries. The volume of trade under this code has significantly diminished over the past two decades.
Products Under This Code
CRT computer monitors, VGA CRT displays, SVGA CRT monitors, workstation CRT displays, vintage PC monitors, industrial CRT monitors, monochrome CRT monitors
Real World Examples
Dell E773c, IBM P260, Sony Trinitron GDM-FW900, HP Pavilion M70, ViewSonic E70
Common Misclassification
This code is distinct from 852849 (other CRT monitors not for ADP machines) and 852852 (non-CRT monitors for ADP machines). The key is the CRT technology and direct connectivity/design for ADP machines.
Products Classified Under 8528.42
Industry
This code belongs to the Electronics & Electrical Equipment industry.
Trade Overview
Trade under this code is minimal today, but historically, major exporters were East Asian countries, with significant imports by developed nations for office and home use.
