8471.60

Analysis

Subheading 8471.60 covers input or output units, whether or not containing storage units in the same housing, within heading 8471. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 5 US tariff lines below it are national.

Every one of its 5 tariff lines is duty-free at the general rate, so classification within the subheading affects statistics and Chapter 99 measures rather than the base duty.

The US splits it as follows: 8471.60.10 for combined input/output units (duty-free), 8471.60.20 for other: keyboards (duty-free), 8471.60.70 for units suitable for physical incorporation into automatic data… (duty-free), 8471.60.80 for optical scanners and magnetic ink recognition devices (duty-free) and 8471.60.90 for other: other (duty-free).

By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Computer Terminal and Other Computer Peripheral Equipment Manufacturing (334118). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
