About HS Code 852849

This HS code covers Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) monitors that are not specifically designed for direct connection to automatic data processing machines (computers). This category includes a variety of CRT displays used for purposes other than general computing, such as professional video monitoring, security surveillance systems, medical imaging displays, or specialized industrial control panels. While CRT technology is largely superseded by flat-panel displays, these specific monitors might still be traded for legacy system maintenance, niche industrial applications, or in markets where cost and specific display characteristics (like true black levels) are still valued. Importers often include specialized equipment suppliers, broadcast studios, or industrial integrators. Exporters are typically companies dealing in refurbished equipment or those with remaining stock. Trade considerations include careful packaging due to fragility, and compliance with specific industry standards for video signals or medical devices.

Products Under This Code

CRT video monitors, security camera CRT displays, broadcast studio CRT monitors, medical imaging CRT displays, industrial control CRT screens, arcade game CRT monitors, oscilloscope CRT displays

Real World Examples

Common Misclassification

This code is differentiated from 852842 (CRT monitors for ADP machines) by their intended use and connectivity, and from 852859 (non-CRT monitors not for ADP machines) by the display technology. The "n.e.c." (not elsewhere specified) is key here.
