Six-digit subheading in Machinery, chapter 84 of the Harmonized System, priced here for 8 destination markets.
Anatomy of 847130
You will declare against a longer local code that begins 847130: ten digits in the United States and the United Kingdom, eight in the European Union, and the first six the same everywhere. Which trailing digits apply is what the 8 rates below differ on.
What this code covers
Import duty by country
MFN duty rate · 8 countries| Country | Duty | VAT | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🇦🇺Australia | 0% | 10% | |
| 🇧🇷Brazil | 16% | Not modelled, see notes | |
| Consumption tax for Brazil Brazil charges ICMS, IPI and PIS/COFINS on imports and this site does not model any of them, so the tax column shows no figure. ICMS is a state tax and its rate is set by each federative unit, so there is no single national figure to publish. IPI and PIS/COFINS apply on top. This site models none of them and shows no figure rather than a zero that would read as none being due. The duty figure beside it is unaffected. | |||
| 🇨🇦Canada | 0% | 5% | |
| 🇩🇪Germany | 0% | 19% | |
| 🇮🇳India | 0% | 18% | |
| 🇵🇹Portugal | 0% | 23% | |
| 🇬🇧United Kingdom | 0% | 20% | |
| 🇺🇸United States | 0% | 0% | |
Rates shown are MFN (Most Favoured Nation), the default for WTO members. Preferential FTA rates may be lower with valid proof of origin. Section 301 / anti-dumping surcharges on Chinese-origin goods are not included.
Duty figures on this page have not yet been checked against official tariff schedules and should be treated as estimates.
What that costs: 847130 into India
An illustrative consignment of 847130 invoiced at INR 2,000.00, priced in INR because a threshold is set in the destination's currency and nothing here is converted.
| Goods value on the invoice | INR 2,000.00 |
| International freight | INR 120.00 |
| Cargo insurance | INR 30.00 |
| Value the duty is charged on, CIF basis | INR 2,150.00 |
| Duty at 0% | INR 0.00 |
| India tax at 18%, charged on the value plus the duty | INR 387.00 |
| Total, before commercial charges | INR 2,537.00 |
And if the consignment were small
India relieves nothing: no de minimis exists and the narrow gift exemption does not cover post or courier, so the duty above is charged whatever the consignment is worth. A smaller shipment pays less because the value is lower, not because a threshold spared it.
An illustration, not a quotation: broker fees, handling and any trade remedy on the origin sit outside it. Price 847130 on your own numbers in the duty calculator.

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
What the notes to section XVI say
Chapter 84 sits in section XVI, machinery and mechanical appliances; electrical equipment; parts thereof, sound recorders and reproducers, television image and sound recorders and reproducers, and parts and accessories of such articles, where a section note governs every chapter in the section and applies before the heading notes below; the 6 reaching chapter 84 name no heading this site holds a code under, and they are quoted whole on the chapter 84 page, read from https://www.trade-tariff.service.gov.uk/api/v2/sections/16 on 2026-09-08.
What the nomenclature says about heading 8471
847130 is a subheading of 8471, automatic data-processing machines and units thereof; magnetic or optical readers, machines for transcribing data onto data media in coded form and machines for processing such data, not elsewhere specified or included , and this site holds 4 other codes under the same heading, which every rule below governs equally.
One numbered note to chapter 84 takes heading 8471 as its own subject, and it is quoted below in full, as published.
Note 6 to chapter 84
(A) For the purposes of heading 8471, the expression 'automatic data-processing machines' means machines, capable of
(1) storing the processing program or programs and at least the data immediately necessary for the execution of the program;
(2) being freely programmed in accordance with the requirements of the user;
(3) performing arithmetical computations specified by the user; and
(4) executing, without human intervention, a processing program which requires them to modify their execution, by logical decision during the processing run.
(B) Automatic data-processing machines may be in the form of systems consisting of a variable number of separate units.
(C) Subject to paragraphs (D) and (E) below, a unit is to be regarded as being a part of an automatic data processing system if it meets all the following conditions:
(1) it is of a kind solely or principally used in an automatic data-processing system;
(2) it is connectable to the central processing unit either directly or through one or more other units; and
(3) it is able to accept or deliver data in a form (codes or signals) which can be used by the system.
Separately presented units of an automatic data-processing machine are to be classified in heading 8471.
However keyboards, X-Y coordinate input devices and disk storage units which satisfy the conditions of paragraphs (C)(2) and (C)(3) above, are in all cases to be classified as units of heading 8471.
(D) Heading 8471 does not cover the following when presented separately, even if they meet all of the conditions set forth in note 6(C) above:
(1) printers, copying machines, facsimile machines, whether or not combined;
(2) apparatus for the transmission or reception of voice, images or other data, including apparatus for
communication in a wired or wireless network (such as a local or wide area network);
(3) loudspeakers and microphones;
(4) television cameras, digital cameras and video camera recorders;
(5) monitors and projectors, not incorporating television reception apparatus.
(E) Machines incorporating or working in conjunction with an automatic data-processing machine and performing a specific function other than data processing are to be classified in the headings appropriate to their respective functions or, failing that, in residual headings.
Read from the notes to chapter 84 published in the UK Trade Tariff by HM Revenue and Customs, at https://www.trade-tariff.service.gov.uk/api/v2/chapters/84, with the heading title from https://www.trade-tariff.service.gov.uk/api/v2/headings/8471, on 2026-09-07, with the whole layer and the reason a heading note is a chapter note set out on the chapter 84 page. These notes are part of the international text of the Harmonized System, so the rule is the same whichever destination a shipment is going to, and it decides classification and never a rate.
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.
