Last updated: April 2026 dataDomestic microwave ovens imported under this heading are subject to Section 301 tariffs when sourced from China, which dominates US supply alongside Malaysia and Vietnam. The US tariff schedule subdivides the heading by cavity capacity: at or below 22.5 liters (8516500030), between 22.5 and 31.0 liters (8516500060), and above 31.0 liters (8516500090), making accurate volume measurement a classification prerequisite. Importers should confirm whether units are designated for domestic (household) use, as commercial-grade microwave equipment may fall under different headings. The concentration of supply in a handful of Southeast Asian countries creates meaningful exposure to trade-remedy actions and supply-chain disruptions.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The US schedule breaks domestic microwave ovens into three capacity tiers: at or below 22.5 liters (8516500030), greater than 22.5 liters up to 31.0 liters (8516500060), and greater than 31.0 liters (8516500090). Importers must verify the manufacturer's rated internal capacity in liters before filing entry, as misclassification between tiers can trigger penalty exposure.
Yes. Microwave ovens originating in China are subject to Section 301 tariffs in addition to the standard MFN duty. Importers sourcing from Malaysia or Vietnam should also monitor whether those countries' products involve Chinese-origin components that could affect origin determinations under substantial-transformation rules.
