HS Code 8471.80 – Units of automatic data processing machines; n.e.c. in item no. 8471.50, 8471.60 or 8471.70
HS code 8471.80 is the 6-digit subheading for units of automatic data processing machines, n.e.c. in item no. 8471.50, 8471.60 or 8471.70. It is used for network interface cards (NICs), graphics cards (GPUs), sound cards, expansion cards and KVM switches.
What HS 8471.80 covers
HS 847180 serves as a residual category for units of automatic data processing machines not specifically covered by other, more precise codes within 8471. This 'not elsewhere classified' designation captures a diverse range of specialized or auxiliary ADP units that are crucial for expanding functionality or connecting various components. Importers and exporters often include niche technology companies, industrial automation firms, specialized hardware manufacturers, and research institutions. Key aspects of this trade involve catering to specific industrial or professional needs, the integration of various computing components, and the continuous development of specialized interfaces and controllers. It reflects the modular nature of modern computing systems.

Codes often confused with 8471.80
Common mistake. This code is often confused with 847150 (processing units) or 847160 (input/output units) if their function overlaps. The 'not elsewhere specified' clause is critical, meaning it applies when a unit doesn't fit more specific ADP unit categories.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 847180, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 847180 in UN Comtrade data was Taiwan, with about 40% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was China, with 21% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

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).
