We understand that Central Processing Unit sought to be imported, is classifiable under HSN: 8471 5000. 

As per DGFT N/N 23/2023, dated 03-08-2023, the import policy condition for goods falling under HSN: 8471 5000 has been changed to 'RESTRICTED'. Thus, import of CPU per se will be restricted vide NN 23/2023.
