Kevin Doucette CH Robinson International Inc. 14701 Charlson Rd Eden Prairie, MN 55347 RE: The tariff classification of a wearable display device from China Dear Mr. Doucette: In your letter dated January 22, 2026, you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of your client, Asus Computer International. The merchandise under consideration is the ASUS AirVision M1 Glasses, SKU part number 90LJ00L5-B013B0, which is a wearable display device. This product features dual 0.49-inch micro-OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) screens and a USB-C input that can connect to devices compatible with USB Type-C with DP alt mode, such as laptops, smartphones, and game devices. As per the information provided, the M1 contains active electronic components that process and convert automatic data processing (ADP) and video signals into the electrical commands required to display images and data. Moreover, this wearable monitor can receive, process, convert, and display ADP and video signals and is designed to connect directly to the central processing unit (CPU) of an ADP machine and provide a graphical presentation of processed data. The lenses are non-prescription and do not provide UV protection. Additionally, this wearable display does not have an embedded operating system. It is the opinion of this office that the principal function of the ASUS AirVision M1 Glasses is performed by the monitor function. The applicable subheading for the ASUS AirVision M1 Glasses will be 8528.52.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for “Monitors and projectors not incorporating television reception apparatus; reception apparatus for television, whether or not incorporating radio-broadcast receivers or sound or video recording or reproducing apparatus: Other monitors: Capable of directly connecting to and designed for use with an automatic data processing machine of heading 8471.” The rate of duty will be Free.

The duties cited above are current as of this ruling’s issuance. Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided at https://hts.usitc.gov/. This ruling does not address the applicability of any additional duties, taxes, fees, exactions and/or other charges, which may apply to the goods discussed herein. This includes, but is not limited to, tariffs and other duties as provided for in Subchapter III to Chapter 99, HTSUS. Thus, for example, in addition to the classification stated above, the merchandise covered by this ruling may also need to be reported with either the Chapter 99 provision under which an additional tariff applies or one of the Chapter 99 provisions covering exceptions to such tariffs.
