U.S. exports of amplifier integrated circuits (HS 854233) totaled $119.3M in July 2026.
Importers of Amplifier Integrated Circuits paid $985K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 43% on $2.3M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataIntegrated circuit amplifiers — including operational amplifiers, audio amplifiers, RF power amplifiers, and instrumentation amplifiers — are consolidated under this heading, which carries two parallel 10-digit lines (8542330000 and 8542330001) reflecting administrative staging in the US tariff schedule. Taiwan leads US supply, with Malaysia and the Philippines significant sources, consistent with the broader Southeast Asian concentration of IC assembly and test operations. These components are foundational inputs for analog signal processing across medical devices, telecommunications infrastructure, automotive electronics, and industrial controls. Classification questions most often arise when a device combines amplification with filtering, conversion, or control functions, potentially shifting it to the NESOI integrated-circuit heading.

An IC whose primary and essential character is amplification classifies under 854233. When a device integrates amplification with other dominant functions — such as analog-to-digital conversion, active filtering, or signal conditioning — the classification analysis must weigh which function defines the article's commercial identity. CBP's classification principles and the HS Explanatory Notes for Chapter 85 guide this determination; a binding ruling is recommended for multi-function mixed-signal ICs.
Section 301 tariffs apply based on country of origin, not country of assembly. If an amplifier IC is substantially transformed in Malaysia or the Philippines — for example, through wafer fabrication or full assembly and test — its country of origin for tariff purposes is typically that country, not China, and Section 301 duties would not apply. However, if only minor finishing operations occur outside China, origin may still be attributed to China. A country-of-origin analysis should be conducted for each product line.
