U.S. exports of parts of cathode-ray tubes (HS 854091) totaled $1.3M in July 2026.
Importers of Parts of Cathode-Ray Tubes paid $104K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 13% on $769K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Parts of Cathode-Ray Tubes imports of $812K in July 2026 ran 68% above the year-to-date monthly average of $483K.
Last updated: July 2026 dataFront panel assemblies, deflection coils, and other discrete components for cathode-ray tubes are classified here rather than with the complete tubes, making accurate parts identification essential to avoid misclassification into the finished-tube headings. The US schedule distinguishes front panel assemblies (8540911500), deflection coils (8540912000), and two NESOI parts lines (8540914000 and 8540915000) for other components. Austria and Germany lead US import supply, followed by the Czech Republic, Japan, and South Korea—a supplier mix reflecting European precision manufacturing and Asian electronics component production that supports both legacy CRT maintenance and specialized industrial display markets.

Deflection coils imported separately for use in cathode-ray tubes are specifically provided for under 8540912000 within this heading, rather than being classified as the complete tube or as a general electronic component. The key is that the part must be identifiable as a deflection coil designed for CRT use; a coil that is a general-purpose electromagnetic component without CRT-specific design features may classify elsewhere in the schedule.
Customs will look for evidence that the imported article is an incomplete or unfinished component rather than a functional tube. Useful documentation includes the manufacturer's part number and description, a bill of materials showing the article is a sub-assembly, and any assembly drawings that demonstrate the part requires additional components to function as a complete CRT. Misclassifying a complete tube as a part—or vice versa—can result in duty underpayment findings during a post-entry audit.
