CBP's Ruling

ItemHTS codeCBP's description of the line
Dell PowerEdge R7625 ServerHTS 8471.50.0150Automatic data processing machines and units thereof… Processing units other than those of subheading 8471.41 or 8471.49, whether or not containing in the same housing one or two of the following types of unit: storage units, input units, output units: Other.

Explanation

Heading 8471 names automatic data processing machines and units of those machines. CBP placed the server on the line for processing units. The server runs computing and processing programs after a user enters parameters from a personal computer.

Does this apply to your product?

It likely does if you can answer yes to each of these:

  • Is it a database or data processing server?
  • Does it have its own high-performance CPUs?
  • Does it run computing and processing programs after a user enters parameters from a personal computer?

A no to any of them can mean a different code. A licensed broker can classify your product.
