Touch-sensitive data input devices (so-called "touch screens") without display capabilities, for incorporation into apparatus having a display, which function by detecting the presence and location of a touch within the display area (such sensing may be obtained by means of resistance, electrostatic capacity, acoustic pulse recognition, infra-red lights or other touch-sensitive technology)
Analysis
HTS 8537.10.80 covers touch-sensitive data input devices (so-called "touch screens") without display capabilities, for incorporation into apparatus having a display, which function… under heading 8537 (boards, panels, consoles, desks, cabinets and other bases, equipped with two or more…).
Within this group the rate runs from 2.7% to 2.7%. Compared with 8537.10.91 (other: other), which pays 2.7%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 2.7 percentage points.
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.
The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 58% of the 624 tariff lines in chapter 85, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.
The other lines in the same group are 8537.10.30 (assembled with outer housing or supports, for the goods of…, 2.7%), 8537.10.60 (motor control centers, 2.7%) and 8537.10.91 (other: other, 2.7%).
