U.S. imports of antennas, aerial reflectors & parts (HS 851771) totaled $97.3M in July 2026, traded with 52 countries.
Importers of Antennas, Aerial Reflectors & Parts paid $12.0M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 14% on $87.0M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataAntennas and aerial reflectors — spanning satellite dish components, cellular panel antennas, and RF reflectors — along with their dedicated parts, enter under a single US tariff line (8517710000). Vietnam and China together account for the dominant share of US imports under this heading, with Mexico rounding out the top three. Classification boundaries matter here: antenna assemblies integrated into a finished apparatus (such as a router or base station) may be classified with the parent device rather than separately, making the distinction between standalone antennas and embedded antenna components a recurring customs question.

Under GRI 1 and Note 2 to Section XVI, parts that are solely or principally used with a specific apparatus are generally classified with that apparatus. However, antennas sold as standalone commercial products — not presented with or dedicated to a single parent device — are classified under 8517710000. Importers of antenna kits or replacement antennas should document the intended use and whether the antenna is a general-purpose or device-specific component.
Antennas that are integral to an intentional radiator (a device that emits RF energy) must be covered by the FCC equipment authorization for that system. Standalone passive antennas sold separately may not require their own FCC ID, but they must be compatible with an authorized transmitter. Importers should confirm authorization status with the FCC or the device manufacturer before entry.
