Dear Mr. Symonds:

In your letter dated September 9, 2004 you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The item in question is 26-inch screen diagonally measured LCD color television with a 16:9 screen ratio. It is denoted as model number KLV-26HG2. The item is a fully functional television receiver that will directly display television broadcast programming. It is designed with a built-in memory stick slot. This feature allows the user to insert a memory stick that can display digital video movies, of DVD quality, and digital still images taken with a digital camcorder and a digital still image camera.
