Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If other unrecorded semiconductor media like USB flash drives
Non-smart card semiconductor storage (e.g., flash with USB interface) falls under 8523.59 as other media, differentiated by lack of card-embedded microprocessor.
If for industrial measuring/identification use with specific sensors
Smart cards designed primarily for measurement/control in industrial applications may shift to Chapter 90 optical/precision instruments.
If lacking embedded IC chips, mere plastic cards
Without qualifying IC elements per Chapter note (b), classified as other plastic articles rather than smart card media.
