8471.70.90.00 - Other

HTS Code 8471.70.90.00 classifies "Other" storage units for automatic data processing machines, which are not elsewhere specified or included within the preceding subheadings of 8471.70. This designation applies to storage units that do not fit the specific descriptions of other subcategories under the broader heading of "Storage units" (8471.70). It serves as a residual category for storage devices that are integral to or designed for use with automatic data processing (ADP) machines.

This category distinguishes itself from sibling categories by exclusion. For instance, it does not cover storage units that are specifically designed and "not assembled in cabinets for placing on a table, desk, wall, floor or similar place" (8471.70.60.00). Therefore, 8471.70.90.00 would encompass storage units that are typically housed in cabinets or enclosures intended for installation in such locations, provided they are not specifically detailed elsewhere within the tariff schedule.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 8471.70.90.00 is dependent on the complete exclusion from all other more specific subheadings within 8471.70. The primary consideration is that the unit must function as a storage mechanism for data processed by an ADP machine and not be classifiable under any other more precise tariff item. Examples may include specialized internal or external storage devices not meeting the criteria of other listed types, such as certain high-capacity or niche storage solutions for servers or industrial computing systems.
