Last updated: April 2026 dataFlat-panel televisions and consumer video equipment are among the most widely traded consumer electronics categories, with supply chains centered in Mexico, South Korea, and Southeast Asia. Section 301 tariffs have affected Chinese-origin video equipment, accelerating the shift of final assembly to Mexico — where USMCA rules of origin govern duty treatment — and to Vietnam. Screen size, display technology (OLED vs. LCD), and smart-TV functionality are key classification variables that determine the applicable HTS subheading and duty rate.

Televisions assembled in Mexico may qualify for preferential duty treatment under USMCA if they meet the applicable rules of origin, which for video display apparatus typically involve regional value content and tariff shift requirements. Importers must obtain a valid USMCA certification of origin from the producer or exporter to claim the preference.
The primary distinction turns on whether the display is designed principally for receiving broadcast television signals versus functioning as a computer output device. Screens capable of receiving broadcast signals without an external tuner, or marketed as televisions, generally fall under the television HTS headings. Displays without tuners marketed for computer use are typically classified as monitors — a distinction CBP has litigated in several ruling cases.
