This switch is used in computer networks, such as LANs, and telecommunications Wide Area Networks (WAN). It performs voice, video, and data switching in a LAN/WAN environment within a digital line system.

The applicable subheading for the Switch (CISCO3550-24EMI) will be 8517.30.5000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for “Telephonic or telegraphic switching apparatus: Other.” The rate of duty will be free.
