Overview
HTS 8471.60.70.00 encompasses units designed for physical integration into automatic data processing (ADP) machines or their constituent parts. This includes components that, while potentially functional on their own, are specifically intended to be a permanent or semi-permanent part of a larger computing system. Examples include internal power supply units, certain types of internal memory modules not elsewhere specified, and chassis or housings designed to contain multiple internal components of an ADP machine. The key criterion is their inherent suitability for incorporation, meaning they are not standalone devices in typical use.
This category is distinguished from sibling entries by its broad scope of internal components, as opposed to specific input/output devices. For instance, while keyboards (8471.60.20.00) and optical scanners (8471.60.80.00) are input devices that may be physically attached, 8471.60.70.00 covers components that are typically housed *within* the ADP machine's enclosure. It also differs from the more general "Other" category (8471.60.90) by focusing on units *suitable for physical incorporation*, implying a design and form factor geared towards integration rather than external connectivity or independent operation.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within 8471.60.70.00 hinges on the determination that a unit is intended for internal installation within an ADP machine, based on its physical characteristics and designed function. If a unit can function as a standalone peripheral without any modification or direct physical integration into an ADP machine, it would likely be classified elsewhere.
