RE: The tariff classification of a monitor from China
Dear Ms. Butts:
In your letter dated May 7, 2025, you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The merchandise under consideration is the AUO 17-inch LCD monitor, NCR part number 1619-1704-8801.
The subject 17-inch display is compatible with any device that has a VGA, DVI, HDMI, or Display Port.
Additionally, this monitor is capable of directly connecting to and designed for use with an automatic data
processing machine of heading 8471. Moreover, it does not incorporate any television reception apparatus or
a touchscreen.
The applicable subheading for the subject AUO 17-inch monitor, NCR part number 1619-1704-8801, will be
8528.52.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for “Monitors and
projectors not incorporating television reception apparatus; reception apparatus for television, whether or not
incorporating radio-broadcast receivers or sound or video recording or reproducing apparatus: Other
monitors: Capable of directly connecting to and designed for use with an automatic data processing machine
of heading 8471.” The rate of duty will be Free.
Effective March 4, 2025, pursuant to U.S. Note 2(u) to Subchapter III, Chapter 99, all products of China and
Hong Kong as provided by heading 9903.01.24, HTSUS, other than products classifiable under headings
9903.01.21, 9903.01.22, and 9903.01.23, HTSUS, will be subject to an additional 20 percent ad valorem rate
of duty. At the time of entry, you must report the applicable Chapter 99 heading, i.e. 9903.01.24, in addition
to subheading 8528.52.0000, HTSUS, listed above.
Effective April 5, 2025, Executive Orders implemented “Reciprocal Tariffs.” All imported merchandise
must be reported with either the Chapter 99 provision under which the reciprocal tariff applies or one of the
Chapter 99 provisions covering exceptions to the reciprocal tariffs. At this time products from all countries
will be subject to an additional 10 percent ad valorem rate of duty. Your product falls within an excepted
subheading. At the time of entry, you must report the Chapter 99 heading applicable to your product
classification, 9903.01.32, in addition to subheading 8528.52.0000, HTSUS, listed above.
The tariffs and additional duties cited above are current as of this ruling’s issuance. 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 at https://hts.usitc.gov/.
The holding set forth above applies only to the specific factual situation and merchandise description as
identified in the ruling request. This position is clearly set forth in Title 19, Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR), Section 177.9(b)(1). This section states that a ruling letter is issued on the assumption that all of the
