U.S. exports of pocket-size radio cassette players (HS 852712) totaled $95K in July 2026, traded with 5 countries.
Last updated: July 2026 dataPocket-size radio cassette players — compact, battery-operated units combining an AM/FM or similar radio receiver with a cassette tape playback mechanism — are captured in a single US tariff line (8527120000) with no further subdivision. Though largely supplanted in consumer markets by digital audio formats, these devices retain niche demand in certain educational, accessibility, and developing-market contexts, and continue to move through trade channels. Their classification is straightforward provided the unit is genuinely pocket-sized and combines both radio reception and cassette playback functions; units lacking one of those elements may fall under a different heading.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Heading 852712 is specifically reserved for pocket-size radio cassette players — a defined form factor combining radio reception with cassette playback in a genuinely pocket-portable unit. Heading 852713 covers battery-operated radiobroadcast receivers combined with sound recording or reproducing apparatus more broadly, including larger portable units and radio-tape recorder combinations that exceed the pocket-size criterion. Physical dimensions and design intent are the key distinguishing factors.
Yes. As radio frequency-emitting consumer devices, pocket-size radio cassette players must comply with FCC Part 15 regulations and carry appropriate equipment authorization before they can be marketed or sold in the US. Importers should confirm that the manufacturer has obtained the required FCC authorization prior to shipment.
