HS Code Detail
847130 Chapter 84 · Machinery Laptop computers / portable ADP machines
Six-digit Harmonized System subheading. Used by 200+ customs authorities worldwide as the universal starting point for tariff classification.
Anatomy of 847130
For a real customs declaration you'll extend this 6-digit code to the destination's full local format: 10 digits for US HTS / UK Trade Tariff, 8 digits for the EU Combined Nomenclature. The first six digits stay the same — only the trailing detail differs.
What this code covers
What falls under 847130
- Laptops, notebooks and other portable automatic data-processing machines weighing ≤10 kg
- Portable units comprising at least a CPU, keyboard and display in one housing
What's specifically excluded
These look similar but belong under a different code:
Commonly confused with
847141 — Other ADP machines containing a CPU with input+output combined
Mini-PCs and all-in-ones that aren't portable fall here, not under laptops.
847330 — Parts and accessories for computers
A docking station, charger or spare battery is a part (8473), not a portable computer.
Classification & cost note
Laptops are ITA goods, so the MFN duty is 0% in all major markets — classification disputes here are rarely about the rate and almost always about whether a borderline device (a large detachable tablet, a portable workstation) is genuinely 'portable' and genuinely an ADP machine. The 10 kg weight test is the practical dividing line.
Typical products: Ultrabooks and MacBooks · Gaming laptops · 2-in-1 convertible notebooks · Rugged field laptops

Questions about 847130
Do I pay duty importing a laptop?
MFN duty is 0% under the Information Technology Agreement in the EU, UK, US, Canada, Japan and Australia. Import VAT/GST still applies to the landed value.
Is a tablet classified under 847130?
Tablets are ADP machines but generally sit under 847130 only if portable and computer-first; a cellular tablet whose principal function is telephony can be argued into Chapter 8517 instead.
