    <title>Portable mobile, tablet, wearable and vehicle computers classified as portable ADP machines; ruled under tariff subheading 8471.30 84713090</title>
    <link>https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=96139</link>
    <description>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, â‰¤10 kg, CPU, keyboard/display - touchscreen treated as input). Chapter Note 6(D)/(E) exclusions were inapplicable as these are complete ADP machines and data processing is their principal function. Precedent and CBIC guidance were held persuasive; outcome: classified under 84713090. - AAR</description>
