Discrete graphics cards (NVIDIA RTX, AMD RX series) are classified under 8473.30 as parts and accessories of ADP machines. The GPU connects via PCIe slot as a peripheral component. Professional/workstation GPUs (NVIDIA Quadro/A-series, AMD Pro) are classified identically to gaming GPUs — the professional use doesn't change the heading. External GPU enclosures (eGPU boxes with Thunderbolt) including the GPU are 8473.30 by essential character. A GPU assembled into a complete computer system is classified under 8471. Section 301 tariffs may affect Chinese-origin components — verify current coverage as tariff lists are subject to revision. GPU-accelerated compute cards (e.g. NVIDIA A100, H100) used for AI training are still 8473.30.
