HS code · 6-digit subheading

HS Code 8471.50 – Units of automatic data processing machines; processing units other than those of item no. 8471.41 or 8471.49, whether or not containing in the same housing one or two of the following types of unit: storage units, input units or output units

HS code 8471.50 is the 6-digit subheading for units of automatic data processing machines, processing units other than those of item no. 8471.41 or 8471.49, whether or not containing in the same housing one or two of the following types of unit: storage units, input units or output units. It is used for server motherboards, CPU assemblies, rack-mounted servers, blade servers and industrial PCs.

What HS 8471.50 covers

HS 847150 encompasses the core processing units of automatic data processing machines, excluding complete systems like laptops or desktops. This category is crucial for the global technology infrastructure, covering components that power servers, workstations, and industrial computing solutions. Major importers and exporters include technology giants, data centers, and businesses requiring robust computing power for their operations. Key things to know involve the rapid evolution of processor technology, the increasing demand for high-performance computing in cloud services and AI, and the complex global supply chains for these high-value components. Trade in this category reflects investment in digital transformation and data infrastructure worldwide.

Codes often confused with 8471.50

Common mistake. This code is often confused with 847130 (portable ADP machines like laptops) or 847149 (other ADP machines presented in system form). The distinction lies in 847150 covering 'units' or 'processing units' rather than complete, ready-to-use systems.

How these figures are built

109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. UN Comtrade records Taiwan as "Other Asia, not elsewhere specified". Saudi Arabia's exports under that code are left out: they are far too large to be trade with Taiwan, so mostly undisclosed partners. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
