U.S. imports of multiple loudspeakers in a single enclosure (HS 851822) totaled $123.9M in April 2026, traded with 41 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataMulti-driver speaker systems — where two or more loudspeaker drivers (e.g., woofer and tweeter) share a single cabinet — classify under a dedicated tariff line (8518220000) distinct from single-driver enclosures. Vietnam leads US supply under this heading, with China and Malaysia also significant. The commercial significance of this heading spans home theater tower speakers, soundbars with multiple internal drivers, and professional PA cabinets; the number of drivers in a shared enclosure, not the number of enclosures, is the operative classification criterion.

A soundbar containing multiple loudspeaker drivers in a single enclosure generally classifies under 8518220000. However, if the soundbar incorporates amplification and signal-processing electronics as its primary function, CBP may consider classification under a different heading. The key question is whether the loudspeaker function or the amplifier/processor function gives the article its essential character.
A stereo pair consisting of two separate enclosures — each containing its own driver — does not qualify as 'multiple loudspeakers mounted in the same enclosure.' Each enclosure would individually classify under 851821 (single loudspeaker in enclosure). The 851822 distinction requires multiple drivers sharing one physical cabinet, not multiple cabinets sold together.
