BTI (Binding Tariff Information) is an official EU customs decision confirming the classification of goods. Valid for 3 years, binding across all EU member states.

What does CN code 8471 90 cover?

CN code 8471 90 of the Combined Nomenclature covers other automatic data processing (ADP) machines and their units not classified under previous subheadings of heading 8471. This subheading is a residual category covering specialised ADP machines and modules that do not qualify under any of the preceding subheadings (8471 30 through 8471 80). These may include hybrid systems, special-purpose ADP devices and modules not meeting the criteria of any listed subheading. The classification criterion is compliance with the ADP machine definition in Note 6A to Chapter 84 - programmability, capability to execute a program, possession of working and permanent memory. Classification is carried out in accordance with the GRI, Rule 1. Subheading 8471 90 should be distinguished from heading 8473, which covers parts and accessories. Subheading 8471 90 concerns complete units, not spare parts. The HS Explanatory Notes specify the scope of heading 8471.

Import requirements for devices under code 8471 90

Importing devices under CN code 8471 90 into the EU is subject to the Union Customs Code. ADP devices are subject to the EMC Directive 2014/30/EU, LVD Directive 2014/35/EU and RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. CE marking is required. The WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU imposes recycling obligations. Devices with radio modules are subject to RED Directive 2014/53/EU. Regulation (EU) 2023/988 requires product safety. The Cyber Resilience Act (EU) 2024/2847 introduces cybersecurity requirements. Customs documentation includes a commercial invoice with technical specification, transport document and CE declaration of conformity. The importer must hold an EORI number and be registered in the national WEEE register.

Customs duties and ITA for devices under code 8471 90

Devices under CN code 8471 90 are covered by the WTO ITA. The MFN rate is 0%, eliminating import duties on ADP machines under heading 8471. The rate should be confirmed in the current TARIC database. Products under Chapter 84 are not subject to CBAM. VAT is charged at import at the national rate. Imports from countries subject to EU sanctions require verification of restrictions. Current rates and trade measures should be checked in TARIC. Autonomous duty suspensions may cover certain specialised devices.

EU directives and ecodesign for IT products 8471 90

Importing IT products under CN 8471 90 requires compliance with multiple EU regulations. RoHS 2 Directive (2011/65/EU) restricts lead, mercury, cadmium and other hazardous substances. The WEEE Directive requires producer registration in the national registry. The Ecodesign Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 introduces durability and repairability requirements. IT products benefit from ITA 0% duty. A CE declaration of conformity covering LVD and EMC is required.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between code 8471 90 and code 8473 30?
Subheading 8471 90 covers complete ADP machine units - functional modules capable of independent data processing. Subheading 8473 30 covers parts and accessories for ADP machines - components that do not independently perform data processing. The decisive criterion is the module's ability to function independently as an ADP system unit. Housings, power supplies, heatsinks and cables are classified as parts under 8473 30.
Are special-purpose ADP devices classified under 8471 90?
Special-purpose ADP devices - such as industrial terminals, process control systems - may be classified under subheading 8471 90 if they meet the ADP machine definition in Note 6A to Chapter 84. However, devices whose essential character is other than data processing may be classified under the appropriate headings. Measurement and control devices are classified under Chapter 90. The decision requires individual assessment.
Are devices under code 8471 90 covered by the ITA?
Yes. Devices under subheading 8471 90 as ADP machines under heading 8471 are covered by the WTO ITA. The MFN rate is 0% for ITA signatories, including the EU. The rate should be confirmed in the current TARIC database. VAT is charged at import at the national rate. These products are not subject to CBAM.
What ecodesign requirements apply to products under 8471 90?
Products under CN 8471 90 are subject to the Ecodesign Regulation (EU) 2024/1781, requiring spare parts availability, repairability information and durability standards. RoHS 2 and WEEE also apply.
