Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If unpopulated bare PCB without components
Bare printed circuits without assemblies fall under a separate provision in 8518.90.40.
If includes power supply and enclosure for standalone use
Complete audio-frequency electric amplifiers are classified separately from parts.
If classified as processor/memory ICs rather than audio-specific assembly
Integrated circuits as standalone components go to semiconductor headings, not assemblies.
