might well be Anyways, looking up the code in some ‘official’ translation of Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (TN VED) is a good idea as it is.

"computers and their blocks" I forgot to mention that if you google for this, almost all the hits are from countries of the former USSR, which is a good indication that it is a literal but not correct translation.

Considering the last sentence, блок вычислительной машины may also include peripherals, as in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peripheral

1. an input device sends data or instructions to the computer, such as a mouse, keyboard, graphics tablet, image scanner, barcode reader, game controller, light pen, light gun, microphone, digital camera, webcam, dance pad, and read-only memory);

2. an output device provides output from the computer, such as a computer monitor, projector, printer, headphones and computer speaker); and

3. an input/output device performs both input and output functions, such as a computer data storage device (including a disk drive, USB flash drive, memory card and tape drive).

and clearly excludes software, which makes it

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks rns for the links and for continuing the discussion, which helped me find this translation. I think it's best because this has to do with customs categories, which are somewhat standardized internationally, I think. Others' contributions were also helpful. "

I guess it is apparent that am not saying that the CMachine has no CPU or computing unit, I am only trying to tell you that "вычислительные" are not related to "блоки" in your context. Sorry for so many letters.
Note from asker:
Thanks, that's okay!

and the former USSR? good example :-) of poles apart
Peer comment(s):

disagree The Misha : They are not called blocks in English. That's a lame Russian calque//Oblast? Oh, blast! I object. Vehemently. And so does pretty much everyone else.

yes, similarly to a lame Russian calque oblast (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblast), no objections, sure, lets tell it to lame Russian IT guys at github.com (to let them split their lame sides :-)

Reference:

Here is an example of usage which provides information on what is in a блок

"В ЦВМ 2-го поколения элементарный блок собирался из отдельных деталей (диодов, транзисторов, конденсаторов, резисторов и т.п.), соединяемых посредством пайки."

Hopefully this helps!
