About HS Code 847130

This crucial HS code covers portable automatic data processing (ADP) machines, commonly known as laptops, notebooks, and certain advanced tablets with detachable keyboards, provided they weigh not more than 10kg and consist of at least a central processing unit, a keyboard, and a display. These devices are fundamental to modern business, education, and personal use, driving significant global trade volumes. Major importers include consumers, businesses, educational institutions, and government agencies. Exporters are predominantly large electronics manufacturers, with production hubs concentrated in East Asia. Key trade considerations include processing power, battery life, screen size, and operating system.

Products Under This Code

Laptops, notebooks, ultrabooks, 2-in-1 convertible laptops, tablet PCs with detachable keyboards (meeting criteria), Chromebooks

Real World Examples
