Issues: Whether various models of interactive flat panel displays are classifiable under heading 8471 as automatic data processing machines or under heading 8528 as monitors, and the applicable rate of GST.
Analysis: The product was found to have display as its primary function, with touch interaction, screen technology, viewing features, and large-screen use defining its essential character. The embedded processor, memory, operating system, connectivity, and similar features were treated as ancillary, since a machine incorporating data-processing capability but performing a specific non-data-processing function is to be classified according to its principal function. As the goods were used for display and viewing and only incidentally possessed ADP-like features, they were held to fall under the monitor heading rather than heading 8471. The classification therefore remained under 85285900, with the GST rate following the entry applicable to that heading.
Conclusion: The classification under heading 85285900 was upheld and the claim for classification under heading 84714190 was rejected; the applicable GST rate remained 28%.
Ratio Decidendi: Goods incorporating data-processing features but performing a distinct principal function must be classified according to that principal function, and not as automatic data processing machines merely because of incidental ADP-like capabilities.
