Overview
This HTS category, 9504.30.00.60, specifically covers "Parts and accessories" for games operated by coins, banknotes, bank cards, tokens, or other means of payment, excluding automatic bowling alley equipment. This designation is crucial for distinguishing individual components from complete gaming machines. Examples of items classified here would include, but are not limited to, joysticks, buttons, coin mechanisms, specialized circuit boards, displays, and structural components intended for assembly into, or repair of, these coin-operated amusement or gaming machines.
It is important to differentiate this category from its sibling, "Games:", which would encompass the complete, functional units of such coin-operated games. While "Games:" covers the finished product designed for operation and entertainment, this "Parts and accessories" category focuses on the individual elements that make up those machines. The distinction lies in whether the item is a standalone, operational game or a component part designed to function within such a game.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, the primary focus for classification within 9504.30.00.60 is to ensure that the item is indeed a part or accessory intended for use with the specific types of coin-operated games described in the parent heading, rather than a finished game itself. The ultimate purpose and functional integration of the item into a larger gaming machine are key determining factors.
