HS 8473

Customs Duty on Computer Parts & Accessories in Nepal (2026): 5%–10% + VAT

Parts and accessories for computers under HS heading 8473 span a wide duty range in Nepal's tariff - most consumer lines sit low, while a few specialised lines run high, so the exact HS code matters more here than in almost any other category. Graphics cards, RAM and SSDs for PC builders are steady import staples since local component retail is shallow and dated.

HS-code duty rates for computer parts & accessories

The duty column is the customs rate charged on the assessable (CIF) value; 13% VAT is then applied on the duty-inclusive amount for VAT-liable lines.

Rates are the tariff we apply when quoting real shipments to Nepal; excise duty, where levied for a specific product class, is charged in addition.

Before you order

What to know about importing computer parts & accessories

  • Check the specific tariff line for your part - the range across heading 8473 is unusually wide (see the table).

  • Bare components have no registration requirements; clearance is straightforward duty plus VAT.

  • GPUs and motherboards are static-sensitive: original retail packaging survives consolidation far better than OEM trays.

  • Local availability lags a generation or more - current-gen GPUs essentially only exist in Nepal as imports.

Computer Parts & Accessories import questions, answered

What duty applies to a graphics card imported into Nepal?+
Computer parts under HS 8473 mostly carry low-to-moderate duty on CIF value plus 13% VAT, but the heading's range is wide - a handful of lines run much higher, so check the live table for the code that matches your part. On a typical NPR 120,000 GPU the combined tax usually adds around a fifth.
Can I import a full PC build's worth of parts at once?+
Yes - each component is assessed on its own line in one consolidated clearance. A single build's parts read as personal use; a dozen identical GPUs read as commercial import and need an EXIM-coded declaration.
Why not just buy PC parts in Kathmandu?+
Selection. Local shops stock mainstream boards and last-generation cards at prices already reflecting import costs plus margin. Enthusiast parts - current GPUs, high-end coolers, specific monitors - simply are not distributed in Nepal, making direct import the only route.
Are assembled desktops taxed differently from parts in Nepal?+
An assembled desktop classifies as a complete data-processing machine under heading 8471 at its low computer rate, while loose parts fall under 8473 line by line. For a full build the totals usually land close; import whichever form is easier to source and ship safely.
