Last updated: August 2026 dataAutomated teller machines, point-of-sale terminals, and other data processing equipment that does not fit within the more specific ADP machine or unit headings are captured in this residual category. The commercial breadth of this heading — spanning financial services infrastructure, retail checkout systems, and specialized industrial computing — means that classification disputes are relatively common, particularly for hybrid devices that combine data processing with communications or payment functions. Importers of ATMs and POS terminals should be aware that some configurations may alternatively be classifiable under financial machinery or telecommunications headings, making a pre-import classification review worthwhile.

Classification depends on the device's principal function. A terminal whose primary role is data processing — with payment handling as an integrated feature — may qualify here, but a device designed principally as a payment instrument could fall under a financial machinery heading. The essential character test under the General Rules of Interpretation governs, and a binding ruling is the safest path for high-volume imports.
The units heading (75280) covers discrete components or modules that form part of an ADP system, while this equipment heading captures complete, standalone data processing devices — such as ATMs or dedicated kiosks — that function as finished products rather than system subassemblies. The distinction matters because the applicable duty rates and Section 301 exposure may differ.
