CBP's Ruling
| Item | HTS code | CBP's description of the line |
|---|---|---|
| Touchscreen displays RP6504, RP7504 and RP8604 | HTS 8471.60.1050 | Automatic data processing machines and units thereof; Input or output units, whether or not containing storage units in the same housing: Combined input/output units: Other |
Explanation
Each display ships with a stylus pen, cables and a remote control. CBP treated that as a set put up for retail sale under GRI 3(b), with the touchscreen display monitor giving it its essential character.
Chapter 84 note 6(C) treats a unit as part of an automatic data processing system when it is principally used in one, connects to the central processing unit, and accepts or delivers data the system can use. Monitors and projectors are excluded from heading 8471, but CBP found these are not merely display monitors. The infrared touchscreen and the panel are permanently combined in one unit, so the display supplies both the input and the output component of the system. Under GRI 1, that makes it a combined input/output unit.
Does this apply to your product?
It likely does if you can answer yes to each of these:
- Is it a display with a built-in touchscreen, made to connect to a computer?
- Are the touch layer and the screen permanently combined in one unit?
- Is it mainly used as part of a computer system, taking input and showing output?
- Does it ship without a computing module installed?
A no to any of them can mean a different code. A licensed broker can classify your product.
