Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If entire console imported for parts salvage rather than board scrap
Video game consoles classified under Chapter 95; only pure scrap boards shift to 8549.
If hybrid integrated circuits extracted and still hybrid-functional
Certain extracted ICs remain under 8542 as electronic circuits, not assemblies.
