Classification reasoning
Computer keyboards are classified under Heading 8471 because they are built specifically to input data into automatic data-processing machines — the same heading that covers computers themselves, mice, scanners, and similar peripherals. Within that heading, subheading 847160 covers 'input or output units,' which is where keyboards sit regardless of whether they connect by USB or wirelessly. Some national tariff schedules split this further at the 8th or 10th digit — for example, the US HTS separates keyboards (8471.60.20) from other input units like mice (8471.60.90) — so check the national code table below for your specific country.

| Keyboard sold as part of a laptop | 847130 | Classified with the complete laptop, not separately |
| Gaming keyboard with built-in software/macros | 847160 (typically) | Function still primarily input; confirm with a ruling if bundled with proprietary hardware add-ons |
