RE: The tariff classification of a keyboard from China

The subject keyboard is intended to be used exclusively with the Apple iPad in a K-12 student environment to simulate the functional use of a traditional laptop personal computer while providing ruggedized protection for the device.
The applicable subheading for the Edge Click-Connect Keyboard Case, SKU 1025000, will be 8471.60.2000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for “Automatic data processing machines and units thereof; …: Input or output units, whether or not containing storage units in the same housing: Other: Keyboards.” The general rate of duty will be Free.
Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided on the World Wide Web at https://hts.usitc.gov/current.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
