What is the HS code for a computer keyboard?

847160 — under Chapter 84, Heading 8471 (automatic data-processing machines and units).

Is there a different code for wireless vs. wired keyboards?

No — the connection method does not change the HS6 classification. Both fall under 847160.

Does a keyboard bundled with a computer need its own HS code?

No. If it is sold and shipped as part of a complete computer system, it is classified with the computer under 8471.30, not declared separately.

Do keyboards still qualify for duty-free entry under $800 to the US?

No — as of June 2026, the US suspended the $800 de minimis exemption for all countries. Every US-bound shipment now requires formal or informal customs entry regardless of value.

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.

Related HS Codes for Computer Keyboard Variants

Variant	HS Code	Why It Differs
Computer mouse	847160 (same HS6, different national suffix)	Same heading, split at 8-digit level in most countries
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
