U.S. exports of Electronic Calculating Machines with Printing Device (HS 847021) totaled $1.7M in August 2026.
Importers of Electronic Calculating Machines with Printing Device paid $75K in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 13.33% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule. Electronic Calculating Machines with Printing Device imports of $560K in August 2026 ran 46% below the year-to-date monthly average of $1.0M.
Last updated: August 2026 dataIncorporating a built-in printing mechanism sets these electronic calculating machines apart from display-only or non-printing models, making them a specialized tool for accounting, retail, and point-of-sale environments where a paper audit trail is required. A single 10-digit tariff line (8470210000) covers the entire subheading in the US schedule, simplifying entry but placing the classification burden on confirming the printing function is integral rather than peripheral. Taiwan is the leading US import source for this category, followed by the Philippines and Cambodia.

Classification under 847021 generally requires that the printing device be incorporated — meaning built into the same housing as the calculating unit. A calculator sold with a separately connected or detachable printer would more likely classify as a calculating machine without a printing device (847029) with the printer classified separately. CBP has addressed similar configuration questions in binding rulings, and consulting a broker is advisable for modular designs.
Cash registers (847050) are specifically designed for retail transaction recording, typically featuring a cash drawer interface, transaction logging, and receipt printing as core functions. Calculating machines under 847021 are general-purpose arithmetic devices that happen to include a printer for output. The commercial purpose and design intent — general calculation vs. point-of-sale transaction management — is the primary classification differentiator.
