HS Code for CRT monitor

The CRT (Cathode-Ray Tube) monitor is classified under HS code 852842. This classification is based on the technology used for the display (cathode-ray tube) and its intended application. Heading 8528 covers monitors and projectors, not incorporating television reception apparatus. Subheading 8528.42 specifically identifies CRT monitors that are capable of directly connecting to and designed for use with an automatic data processing (ADP) machine of heading 84.71. This means the monitor must have the necessary interfaces (such as VGA or BNC) and technical specifications to function as a computer display rather than a television or a general-purpose video monitor.

Common Misclassification

CRT monitors are often misclassified under 852849, which is the 'other' category for CRT monitors not designed for computer use (such as specialized medical or security monitors). They are also frequently confused with 852852, which is the code for flat-panel displays (LCD, LED, OLED) designed for computers. It is critical to distinguish between the tube technology (8528.4x) and flat-panel technology (8528.5x) to avoid customs delays.
