Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

8542.31.00Same rate: 50%

If when entire SoC classified as microprocessor rather than graphics component

System-on-chips primarily function as CPUs use general processor heading

8473.30.11Same rate: 50%

If imported as part of complete laptop motherboard assembly

Assembled computer motherboards classify under ADP parts

8542.39.00Same rate: 50%

If for non-processor IC functions within the graphics subsystem

Controller or interface circuits separate from core processing unit

Import Tips & Compliance

SoC imports require breakdown showing GPU die area vs CPU for proper IC classification

Apple suppliers often ship bare dies; ensure packaging status declared correctly

Avoid classifying entire SoC under 8542.31; specify GPU processor component
