Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the keyboard interface is for a computer rather than a word processor
Input units for ADP machines, including keyboard controllers, are classified under 8471.60.
If the PCA performs a function beyond simple keyboard interfacing, such as signal processing
Electrical machines having individual functions, not specified elsewhere, may fall under this residual heading.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Document the specific word processor model(s) this keyboard interface is designed for, as this is key to proving it is a part of heading 84.72
• If the PCA is sold with the keyboard itself, the set may be classified differently, so consider whether to declare them separately
• Check if the keyboard interface incorporates any active components that might trigger other classification considerations
