Analysis

HTS 8471.49.00 covers other automatic data processing machines: other, entered in the form of systems under heading 8471 (automatic data processing machines and units thereof; magnetic or optical readers…).

Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 35% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 35% duty.

Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 61% of the 823 tariff lines in chapter 84. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.

Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 334118 (Computer Terminal and Other Computer Peripheral Equipment Manufacturing), an industry of 284 US establishments employing 11,143 people. That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.

All 19 neighbouring lines carry the same duty-free rate, so a borderline choice between them changes the statistics reported, not the duty paid.

The general rate of Free has not changed in any edition of the schedule since Jan 2023.
