Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the riser card is imported without active electronic components (e.g., as a bare PCB)
This item covers parts and accessories of printed circuit assemblies, which may apply if the card lacks active elements.
If the card is not a printed circuit assembly but another type of part for ADP machines
This residual item covers other parts and accessories for machines of heading 84.71, which may apply if the card does not meet the definition of a printed circuit assembly.
If the card is imported as part of a complete ADP system
If the card is presented as a unit within a system under subheading 8471.49, it may be classified with the system rather than separately.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Declare the riser card as a printed circuit assembly under 8473.30.20, and ensure it is not classified as a separate machine or as part of a system unless imported with other units
• Check if the card qualifies for preferential duty rates under trade agreements, as rates may vary by origin
• If the card is imported with a computer, confirm whether it should be classified separately or as part of the ADP system under subheading 8471.49
