CHANGES IN THIS ISSUE


CHANGES TO CUSTOM TARIFF FREE STANDING DESCRIPTORS

From this issue, there are some changes in Free Standing Descriptors to clarify the correct classification of computer tablets in the Customs Tariff. The change in labels under 84713000 are only for clarification purposes and do not affect the classification of computer tablets, and therefore there are no changes to current statistical codes. The Free Standing Descriptors for a small number of current Customs Tariff codes have been amended to reflect the amendment to the labels. The affected codes are:

Tariff Code Free Standing Descriptor
8471300031 Laptops, notebooks, palmtops and tablets, weighing not more than 1 kg, consisting of at least a central processing unit, a keyboard and a display
8471300033 Laptops, notebooks, palmtops and tablets, weighing more than 1 kg but not more than 3 kg, consisting of at least a central processing unit, a keyboard and a display
