U.S. imports of multilayer ceramic dielectric fixed capacitors (mlccs) (HS 853224) totaled $86.7M in April 2026, traded with 33 countries.
Importers of Multilayer Ceramic Dielectric Fixed Capacitors (MLCCs) paid $9.1M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 13% on $70.1M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Multilayer Ceramic Dielectric Fixed Capacitors (MLCCs) imports of $86.7M in April 2026 ran 43% below the year-to-date monthly average of $153.0M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataMultilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) are among the most widely traded passive electronic components globally, serving as essential decoupling, filtering, and bypass elements in smartphones, automotive electronics, and industrial controls. South Korea and Japan together dominate US supply under this heading, reflecting the manufacturing scale of companies headquartered in those countries, with Malaysia and the Philippines serving as significant offshore production hubs. The US schedule splits MLCCs into chip (8532240020), axial-lead (8532240040), and radial-lead (8532240060) configurations, and Chinese-origin goods are subject to Section 301 tariffs — a meaningful cost variable given the global sourcing complexity of MLCC supply chains.

Country of origin for customs purposes is determined by where substantial transformation occurred, not by the nationality of the manufacturer. If the MLCCs are produced in Malaysia through a process that constitutes substantial transformation, Malaysia is the country of origin. This distinction matters because Malaysian-origin goods are not subject to Section 301 tariffs, while Chinese-origin goods are. Origin must be supported by manufacturer certifications and production records.
Chip MLCCs (8532240020) are leadless surface-mount components; axial-lead units (8532240040) have wire leads extending from opposite ends of the body; radial-lead units (8532240060) have leads extending from the same end. The physical lead configuration, as specified in the manufacturer's datasheet, determines the correct 10-digit line. Chip MLCCs are by far the most common form in modern electronics manufacturing.
