Chapter 95 covers toys, games and sports requisites, and parts and accessories thereof. This chapter includes various articles for the amusement of children or adults, such as dolls, models, puzzles, video game consoles, table games, sports equipment, etc. However, it should be noted that this chapter does not cover goods for certain specific uses, such as optical instruments of Chapter 90, communication equipment of Chapter 85, etc. Vehicle-mounted video game consoles, as entertainment devices, are generally classified in this chapter if they are designed primarily for gaming and entertainment. Heading 9504 covers video game consoles, articles for table or indoor games, including pinball machines, billiard tables, special equipment for casinos, and video game consoles, etc. This heading also includes parts and accessories of game consoles. However, it should be noted that the distinction from Chapter 85 is: if the device has independent video game functionality, it is generally classified under 9504; if it is merely a general-purpose computer or communication device, it may be classified under Chapter 84 or 85. Code 950450 is a 6-digit subheading. The first 2 digits 95 indicate Chapter 95 (toys, games and sports requisites); digits 3-4, 04, indicate heading 9504 (video game consoles, articles for table or indoor games); digits 5-6, 50, indicate subheading 950450, which specifically covers "vehicle-mounted video game consoles." This subheading is a dedicated video game device under 9504 for the vehicle environment, distinguished from other video game consoles (such as 950430) and parts of game consoles (such as 950490). Vehicle-mounted video game consoles are classified under 950450 because they are essentially video game consoles designed specifically for use in vehicles, meeting the description of heading 9504. If they were merely ordinary computers or DVD players, they would be classified under Chapter 84 or 85; if they were game consoles of a toy nature, they might be classified under 9503. However, because they have video game functionality and are used in vehicles, they are classified under 950450.

Product Name: The Chinese and foreign language names of the declared goods, which should accurately reflect the product attributes, such as "vehicle-mounted video game console." Brand: Fill in the product brand, such as Sony, Nintendo, etc. If there is no brand, fill in "no brand." Model: Fill in the product model, such as PS5, Switch, etc., to distinguish specific specifications. Use: Explain the product use, such as "vehicle entertainment," "in-car gaming," etc. Function: Describe the main functions, such as "video gaming, multimedia playback," etc. Working Principle: Briefly describe the working principle, such as "running game software through a processor and outputting video signals."

Product Name: vehicle-mounted video game console; Brand: Sony; Model: PS5; Use: vehicle entertainment; Function: video gaming, multimedia playback; Working Principle: running game software through a processor and outputting video signals to the vehicle-mounted display; Whether it has a built-in display: no. Incorrectly classifying vehicle-mounted video game consoles under 950430 (other video game consoles), ignoring the dedicated "vehicle-mounted" attribute. Failing to indicate "vehicle-mounted" use at declaration, causing customs to classify as ordinary game consoles. Ignoring the difference between parts and complete machines, incorrectly classifying game console parts under 950450.

Core basis for classification: whether the product is a video game console and whether it is designed specifically for use in vehicles. According to the Import and Export Tariff, heading 9504 includes video game consoles, and subheading 950450 is explicitly "vehicle-mounted video game consoles." If the product also has other functions (such as navigation), it should be classified according to the primary function. If it is a general-purpose computer, it is classified under Chapter 84; if it is communication equipment, under Chapter 85. 950430 Other video game consoles: 950430 covers non-vehicle-mounted video game consoles, such as home game consoles. 950450 specifically refers to vehicle-mounted ones, with the difference lying in the usage scenario and design characteristics. 950490 Other gaming articles: 950490 covers parts and accessories of game consoles, as well as gaming articles not otherwise specified. Complete machines should be classified under 950450, and parts under 950490. 8528 Monitors and projectors: 8528 covers television receivers, monitors, etc. If the vehicle-mounted device is merely a display without gaming functionality, it is classified under 8528. 8471 Automatic data processing machines: 8471 covers computers. If the vehicle-mounted device is a general-purpose computer that can run games but whose primary function is data processing, it is classified under 8471. Is the product a video game console? Is it designed specifically for use in vehicles? Does it have independent gaming functionality? Does it have a built-in display? Is it integrated with other vehicle systems?

What is the difference in HS codes between vehicle-mounted video game consoles and ordinary video game consoles? Vehicle-mounted video game consoles are classified under 950450, while ordinary video game consoles are classified under 950430. The difference lies in the usage scenario: vehicle-mounted ones are designed specifically for use in vehicles and may have features such as shock resistance and vehicle power adaptation. If a vehicle-mounted video game console also has navigation functionality, how should it be classified? It should be classified according to the primary function. If gaming is the primary function, it is still classified under 950450; if navigation is the primary function, it may be classified under 8527 or 8528. It is recommended to provide functional descriptions and proportional evidence. How are parts of vehicle-mounted video game consoles classified? Dedicated parts are classified under 950490, while general-purpose parts are classified according to material. For example, a game controller, if dedicated, is classified under 950490; if general-purpose, under 8471 or Chapter 85. How can it be proven at declaration that the product is dedicated for "vehicle-mounted" use? Evidence such as design drawings, user manuals, power adaptation methods (such as vehicle chargers), and installation positions can be provided to prove that it is designed specifically for the vehicle environment. What certifications are required for importing vehicle-mounted video game consoles? CCC certification may be required (if with a display), radio transmission equipment type approval (if with Wi-Fi/Bluetooth), etc. The specifics depend on the functions. It is recommended to consult professional institutions. For cross-border e-commerce sales of vehicle-mounted video game consoles, how can the HS code be queried? It can be queried in the customs tariff based on the product name, function, and use, or by using the customs advance classification service. Ensure the code is accurate to avoid customs clearance delays. What is the difference between a vehicle-mounted video game console and a vehicle-mounted entertainment system? A vehicle-mounted entertainment system usually integrates multiple functions (audio, video, navigation, etc.) and may be classified under 8527; while a vehicle-mounted video game console focuses on gaming functionality and is classified under 950450. If a vehicle-mounted video game console is imported as a vehicle component, is the code different? If imported as a vehicle component and imported together with the vehicle, it may be classified as a complete vehicle; if imported separately, it is still classified as a game console. The determination should be based on the import status and declaration elements.
