LED televisions are classified under HS code 8528.72 as reception apparatus for television. Despite the commercial name "LED TV," these devices are technically Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD) that utilize Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) for backlighting rather than cold cathode fluorescent lamps. The classification 8528.72 is designated for apparatus incorporating a color video display or screen and a television tuner capable of receiving broadcast signals. This code is part of a broader category that includes all devices designed to receive and display video signals, whether via terrestrial broadcast, cable, or satellite. The classification remains the same regardless of the smart features or internet connectivity, provided the primary function is the reception and display of television signals.

Common Misclassification

LED TVs are often confused with computer monitors, which are classified under 8528.52. The primary difference is the presence of a television tuner; a device without a tuner intended for use with a computer is 8528.52, whereas a device with a tuner is 8528.72. Another misclassification involves LED display modules without a tuner or housing, which should be classified under 8524.91. Additionally, set-top boxes that do not include a screen are classified under 8528.71.
