HS Code for All-in-one PC

Automatic data processing machines, commonly known as All-in-one PCs, are classified under HS code 847141. This classification is appropriate because these devices integrate the central processing unit (CPU) with both an input unit (e.g., keyboard, mouse, touchscreen) and an output unit (e.g., display screen) within a single housing. The distinguishing feature is this comprehensive integration, which sets them apart from traditional desktop computers where components like the monitor and CPU tower are separate. The "n.e.c. in item no. 8471.30" part of the description clarifies that this code applies to machines not specifically covered by 8471.30, which typically refers to portable automatic data processing machines like laptops.

Products Included

• Desktop computers with integrated monitor and CPU
• Touch-screen All-in-one PCs
• Compact All-in-one workstations
• Integrated point-of-sale (POS) systems that function as All-in-one PCs

Common Misclassification

All-in-one PCs are sometimes confused with other HS codes. HS 847130 covers "Portable automatic data processing machines," primarily laptops, which are designed for mobility. All-in-one PCs, while compact, are generally not considered portable in the same manner. Another common misclassification is with HS 847150, which pertains to "Processing units other than those of subheadings 8471.30 or 8471.41," referring to standalone CPU towers without integrated input/output. Furthermore, individual components like separate monitors (HS 852852) or keyboards (HS 847160) should not be classified under 847141, as this code specifically requires the integration of all three core functions within one housing.

FAQ

What is the HS code for All-in-one PC?

The HS code for All-in-one PCs is 847141, which covers automatic data processing machines comprising a central processing unit and an input and output unit within the same housing.

How does HS 847141 differ from 847130?

HS 847141 is for integrated desktop-style automatic data processing machines where the CPU, input, and output units are in one housing. In contrast, HS 847130 is specifically for portable automatic data processing machines, such as laptops, which are designed for easy transport and mobile use.
