Footnote: If the good is for use in vehicle of Chapter 87, the provisions of the Appendix to this Annex apply. Chapter note: Note 1: For the purposes of this Chapter, the term “printed circuit assembly” means a good consisting of one or more printed circuits of heading 85.34 with one or more active elements assembled thereon, with or without passive elements. For the purposes of this Note, “active elements” means diodes, transistors and similar semiconductor devices, whether or not photosensitive, of heading 85.41, integrated circuits of heading 85.42, and microassemblies of heading 85.43 or 85.48. Chapter note: Note 2: For purposes of this Chapter: (a) references to “high definition” as it applies to television receivers and cathode-ray tubes refers to goods having: (i) an aspect ratio of the screen equal to or greater than 16:9, and (ii) a viewing screen capable of displaying more than 700 scanning lines; and (b) the video display diagonal is determined by measuring the maximum straight line dimension across the visible portion of the face plate used for displaying video. Chapter note: Note 3: Tariff item 8529.90.cc covers the following parts of television receivers, video monitors, and video projectors: (a) Video intermediate (IF) amplifying and detecting systems; (b) Video processing and amplification systems; (c) Synchronizing and deflection circuitry; (d) Tuners and tuner control systems; and (e) Audio detection and amplification systems. Chapter note: Note 4: For the purposes of tariff item 8540.91.aa, the term “front panel assembly” refers to: (a) with respect to a monochrome cathode-ray television picture tube, video monitor tube or video projector tube, an assembly which consists of either a glass panel or a glass envelope, which is suitable for incorporation into a monochrome cathode-ray television picture tube, video monitor tube or video projector tube and which has undergone the necessary chemical and physical processes for imprinting phosphors on the glass panel or glass envelope with sufficient precision to render a video image when excited by a stream of electrons; or (b) with respect to a color cathode-ray television picture tube, video monitor tube or video projector tube, an assembly which consists of a glass panel and a shadow mask or aperture grille, attached for ultimate use, which is suitable for incorporation into a color cathode-ray television picture tube, video monitor tube or video projector tube and which has undergone the necessary chemical and physical processes for imprinting phosphors on the glass panel with sufficient precision to render a video image when excited by a stream of electrons. Chapter note: Note 5: The origin of a television combination unit shall be determined in accordance with the rule that would be applicable to such unit if it were solely a television receiver. Edition HS2022 and effective date 2020-07-01 set by FSRC at load (D-91; OPEN-06: the Annex is written against HS 2012 nomenclature; transposition not applied). Approved in bulk on the owner's instruction (FSRC owner (user 480c01a9-b5b3-4a3e-a5d0-223e73975b24), 2026-11-10; D-73).

Edition of the Harmonized System: the product-specific rules of CUSMA Annex 4-B were written against the 2012 edition (HS 2012).
