HS code for computers
Classifying a computer turns on its form factor - a standalone processing unit or an all-in-one. The cases below are how CBP classified specific computers.
Desktop gaming PC processing unit, without a monitor or keyboard
- HTS code CBP assigned
- 8471.50.01
- General duty rate
- Free
- Section 301 (applies to products of China)
- List 3 - 25% (heading 9903.88.03)
Duty rate as of 2026-10-02 (2026 HTS Revision 20). Section 301 status as of 2026-10-02 (2026 HTS Revision 20). Product-specific Section 301 exclusions are not checked. Verify the duty rate and Section 301 status with a licensed customs broker.
Five gaming desktop personal computers, each a chassis holding a motherboard, a central processing unit and advanced graphics cards, without a monitor or keyboard.
