Last updated: July 2026 dataMagnetic recording and reproducing heads, printed circuit assemblies, and other components for audio and video apparatus fall across ten distinct 10-digit HTS lines under this heading, ranging from 8522900010 (magnetic heads) to 8522908081 (residual parts of headings 8519–8521). China is the leading US supplier, followed by the United Kingdom, Taiwan, Japan, and Germany — a supply base that reflects both high-volume electronics manufacturing and specialized precision-component production. Importers should note that certain lines are subject to Section 301 tariffs on Chinese-origin goods, making origin documentation and first-sale valuation strategies particularly relevant for sourcing decisions. Correct classification between printed circuit assemblies (8522906500) and other parts (8522908081) is a common audit focus given the duty-rate differences that can apply.

CBP guidance and Additional US Note 14 to Chapter 85 define 'printed circuit assembly' as an article consisting of a printed circuit board with at least one active component. If the board meets that definition and is for use with apparatus of headings 8519–8521, it falls under 8522906500. Components that do not meet the printed circuit assembly definition, or that serve a different functional role, would be classified under the residual 'parts NESOI' line 8522908081. Consulting a licensed customs broker is advisable when the assembly's composition is borderline.
Yes. Many parts classifiable under heading 8522 that originate in China are subject to Section 301 tariffs. The applicable list and any granted exclusions should be verified against current USTR guidance, as coverage and exclusion status have changed over time. Importers sourcing from China should factor these additional duties into landed-cost calculations and monitor for any reclassification or exclusion updates.
