Overview
This HTS category, 9504.50.00.00, specifically covers video game consoles and machines, distinguishing them from other types of amusement and gaming equipment. This classification is for the electronic devices designed for playing video games, typically featuring a processor, display output, and input interfaces for controllers. It encompasses standalone consoles, handheld gaming devices, and arcade-style video game machines.
It is important to note that this subheading excludes video game consoles and machines that are operated by coins, banknotes, bank cards, tokens, or any other means of payment, which fall under subheading 9504.30.00. Furthermore, this category is distinct from the other siblings, such as articles for billiards (9504.20), playing cards (9504.40.00.00), and other miscellaneous games and amusement machines not specifically covered elsewhere (9504.90).
As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 9504.50.00.00 is based on whether the product is primarily a video game console or machine. Accessories intended for use with these video game consoles and machines, such as controllers, memory cards, and cables, are also classified under this heading.
