Section XVI: Machinery and mechanical appliances; electrical equipment; parts thereof, sound recorders and reproducers, television image and sound recorders and reproducers, and parts and accessories of such articles · Chapter 85: Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof; sound recorders and reproducers, television image and sound recorders and reproducers, and parts and accessories of such articles · Heading 8525: Transmission apparatus for radio-broadcasting or television, whether or not incorporating reception apparatus or sound recording or reproducing apparatus; television cameras, digital cameras and video camera recorders
Why this code
A webcam is a video camera that captures and outputs video signals to a computer. Heading 8525 covers television cameras, digital cameras and video camera recorders. Chapter 84 Note 6(D)(4) excludes digital cameras and video cameras from heading 8471 even when they serve as computer input units, and Chapter 84 Note 1(f) sends digital cameras to 8525. Heading 8517 expressly excludes transmission or reception apparatus of 8525. A consumer 1080p webcam is not high-speed (Subheading Note 1), not radiation-hardened (Note 2) and not photocathode night vision (Note 3). It therefore falls in residual subheading 8525.89 under GRI 6. This matches WCO practice for webcams.
Rules applied: GRI 1, GRI 6, Chapter 84 Note 1(f), Chapter 84 Note 6(D)(4), Chapter 85 Subheading Notes 1-3.
