Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If once recorded with personalization data
After encoding account/ID data, shifts from unrecorded 8523.52.0010 to recorded smart cards subheading.
If photosensitive semiconductor devices, not standard memory IC
Certain light-sensitive IC smart cards classified under photosensitive semiconductors rather than storage media.
If imported in bulk as parts for data processing machinery
Bulk unmounted smart card IC assemblies may classify as ADP parts under Chapter 84 if not in final card form.
