Automatic data-processing machine criteria satisfied: interactive flat panels qualify as ADP machines for tariff classification.

Interactive flat panels are treated as complete automatic data-processing machines because they contain central processing hardware, storage for programs and data, run user-programmable operating systems, accept touchscreen input and provide visual output, and can execute programs including logical decision-making without human intervention; consequently they meet the requirements of Note 6(A) to Chapter 84 and are classifiable as ADP machines under the tariff heading specified in the document.

Issues: Whether the imported Interactive Flat Panel (IFP) models qualify as automatic data-processing machines meeting the requirements of Note 6(A) to Chapter 84 and are classifiable under CTH 8471 41 90.

Analysis: The subject goods are described as integrated all-in-one units containing a central processing unit, motherboard, graphics subsystem, memory and storage, touchscreen input and visual display output, and run user-programmable operating systems (Android/desktop OS). Note 6(A) to Chapter 84 requires machines to (i) store processing programs and necessary data, (ii) be freely programmable by the user, (iii) perform arithmetical computations specified by the user, and (iv) execute processing programs without human intervention including logical decision during runs. The goods' hardware and software capabilities, storage and program flexibility, and integrated input/output components correspond to the chapter note requirements for automatic data-processing machines. The goods are not mere adjuncts or units excluded by other chapter notes and function as complete ADP machines or systems in a single housing.

Conclusion: The Interactive Flat Panel (IFP) models satisfy the criteria of Note 6(A) to Chapter 84 and merit classification under Heading 8471 and specifically under CTH 8471 41 90.
