U.S. imports of data and graphic display tubes, monochrome and color (HS 854040) totaled $168K in April 2026, traded with 5 countries.
Importers of Data and Graphic Display Tubes, Monochrome and Color paid $24K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 13% on $184K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Data and Graphic Display Tubes, Monochrome and Color imports of $168K in April 2026 ran 72% above the year-to-date monthly average of $97K.
Last updated: April 2026 dataPhosphor dot screen pitch is the defining technical specification for color data and graphic display tubes under this heading: color tubes qualify only when the phosphor dot pitch is smaller than 0.4 mm (8540401010), a threshold that separates high-resolution computer and workstation monitors from lower-resolution display devices. Monochrome and other non-color data/graphic display tubes are captured under 8540401050. These tubes served as the backbone of CAD workstations and financial trading terminals before flat-panel technology displaced them, and residual trade flows reflect maintenance and legacy-system support demand. Australia leads US import supply under this heading, followed by Japan and Malaysia.

The 0.4 mm phosphor dot pitch threshold is the statutory boundary written into the tariff schedule: color tubes with a pitch smaller than 0.4 mm fall under 8540401010, while those at or above that pitch would need to be evaluated under a different heading. Importers should obtain the manufacturer's datasheet confirming the exact pitch measurement, as this single specification determines the applicable tariff line.
Demand is largely driven by maintenance of legacy industrial control systems, medical imaging equipment, and specialized simulation or avionics displays that were designed around CRT technology and cannot be easily retrofitted with flat-panel alternatives. Replacement-part procurement for long-lifecycle equipment is the primary commercial driver for current import activity.
