Coin- or Disc-Operated Games (Not Bowling Equipment)

Arcade machines, redemption games, and other coin- or disc-operated amusement devices fall here, explicitly excluding bowling alley equipment which classifies elsewhere. Importers should note that many electronic arcade units may also attract scrutiny under Section 301 tariffs depending on country of origin and component composition. Classification hinges on the operating mechanism — coin or disc activation — rather than the game's electronic sophistication, making the distinction from video game consoles or vending machines a recurring customs edge case.
