The sole issue is classification: whether the portable mobile, tablet, wearable and vehicle-mounted computers are portable automatic data processing (ADP) machines under Tariff Item 8471. Applying GRI 1 and Section/Chapter Notes, the authority found the devices meet the statutory ADP criteria (OS permitting diverse applications; programmability; data processing and automated execution) and satisfy subheading 8471 30 (portable, ≤10 kg, CPU, keyboard/display - touchscreen treated as input).
