A cathode-ray tube (CRT) is a type of electronic display device that was widely used in television sets and computer monitors before the advent of flat-screen technology. The HS Code 85406000 specifically refers to cathode-ray tubes not elsewhere specified or included (nesoi).
When it comes to international trade, HS codes are used to classify and categorize products for customs and statistical purposes. The HS code 85406000 helps identify and track cathode-ray tubes in global trade.
Cathode-ray tubes are vacuum tubes that generate images by accelerating and deflecting beams of electrons onto a phosphorescent screen. They were commonly used in televisions, computer monitors, oscilloscopes, and radar displays. While CRT technology has become largely obsolete in recent years, it was once the dominant display technology.
The bound or most-favored-nation (MFN) duty rate for HS code 85406000 is 3%. This means that every time a country lowers a trade barrier or opens up a market, it must do so for the same goods or services from all its trading partners. The 3% duty rate applies to cathode-ray tubes not elsewhere specified or included.
The quantity unit for HS code 85406000 is measured in numbers (NO). This represents the number of cathode-ray tubes being traded.
There are several special tariff preference programs associated with HS code 85406000. These programs provide specific benefits or exemptions for countries and regions involved in trade with the United States:
Several US states engage in the import of cathode-ray tubes under HS code 85406000. These states include:
The following US states are involved in the export of cathode-ray tubes under HS code 85406000:
Overall, HS code 85406000 plays an important role in the classification, tracking, and regulation of cathode-ray tubes in international trade. It helps ensure transparency and consistency in the import and export of these electronic display devices.
