Issues: Whether the portable computers, namely mobile computers, tablet computers, wearable computers and vehicle-mounted computers, are classifiable under Tariff Item 84713090 of the First Schedule to the Customs Tariff Act, 1975, or under Heading 8517.
Analysis: Classification was examined under Rule 1 of the General Rules for the Interpretation of the Import Tariff, read with Heading 8471, Heading 8517, Section Note 3 of Section XVI, and Chapter Note 6(A) to Chapter 84 of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975. The goods were found to be rugged, portable devices built around barcode scanning and enterprise data-processing functions, capable of storing programmes, being freely programmed, performing user-specified computations, and executing programmes with minimal human intervention. Their touchscreen input, processor and display satisfied the description of portable digital automatic data processing machines. The presence of SIM, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and other communication features was treated as ancillary because cellular connectivity was optional in several models and did not displace the core data-processing character. Chapter Note 6(D) and 6(E) did not exclude the goods, since those exclusions were not found to override the principal ADP function of the complete machines. The guidance in CBIC Circular No. 20/2013-Cus. and prior rulings on similar rugged devices supported the same classification approach.
Conclusion: The portable computers are classifiable under Tariff Item 84713090 and not under Heading 8517.
