HTS Code :

The subject merchandise consists of two models of tag detachers identified as IDKM-1000 and IDKM-1010, Intelligent Super® Tag detacher. According to its “Installation & Programming Guide,” the IDKM detachers enable users to remove standard and Intelligent Super Tag anti-theft tags from merchandise at the point of sale. The detachers include assembly and mounting plates, screens, cables, adapters and a user guide for their independent function as a tag detacher. In addition to removing tags from purchased items, the subject merchandise contain radio frequency identification (“RFID”) antennas. If coupled with a separate RFID reader, the detacher will transmit the RFID information on the tag to the terminal at which the sale is made. The terminal can then cross-reference the information on the hard tag against information obtained by scanning the bar code on the price tag. In addition, the information submitted by the subject tag detacher can generate real-time reports to assist in inventory management.^[1]
