The dominant issue was whether certain data projectors were classifiable under tariff item 85286200 as projectors capable of directly connecting to, and designed for use with, an automatic data processing (ADP) system, despite having additional HDMI and USB ports. Relying on the technical literature, the product design and connectors compatible with PCs, and applying GIR 1 with the Explanatory Notes to heading 8528, it was held that the presence of additional ports does not alter the essential design and principal use with ADP machines; accordingly, the goods were classified under 85286200. On the linked issue of exemption, since the goods are principally used in an ADP system of heading 8471 and fall under the specified subheadings, the benefit under Serial No. 17 of Notification No. 24/2005-Cus. was allowed - AAR
