Division 4 For the purposes of heading 8523:

‘solid-state non-volatile storage devices’ (for example, ‘flash memory cards’ or ‘flash electronic storage cards’) are storage devices with a connecting socket, comprising in the same housing one or more flash memories (for example, ‘Flash E²PROM’) in the form of integrated circuits mounted on a printed circuit board. They may include a controller in the form of an integrated circuit and discrete passive components, such as capacitors and resistors;

the term ‘smart cards’ means cards which have embedded in them one or more electronic integrated circuits (a microprocessor, random access memory (RAM) or read-only memory (ROM)) in the form of chips. These cards may contain contacts, a magnetic stripe or an embedded antenna but do not contain any other active or passive circuit elements.
