U.S. imports of battery-type radiobroadcast receivers (nesoi) (HS 852719) totaled $4.9M in June 2026, traded with 19 countries.
Importers of Battery-Type Radiobroadcast Receivers (NESOI) paid $491K in duties in June 2026 — an effective duty rate of 10% on $4.9M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Standalone battery-operated radiobroadcast receivers not combined with sound recording or reproducing apparatus — and not classified as pocket-size cassette players — fall here, with US lines distinguishing FM-only and AM/FM receivers (8527195010) from other battery radio types (8527195025) and units incorporating a clock or timer (8527191000). These are the classic portable transistor and digital radios used in emergency preparedness, outdoor recreation, and general consumer markets. FCC Part 15 equipment authorization applies to all radio-frequency-emitting consumer devices in this category prior to US market entry.

Line 8527191000 specifically covers battery-type radio receivers combined with a clock or timer. The presence of a timekeeping or alarm function integrated into the radio unit — not merely a display showing time — is the distinguishing feature. Radios with a simple digital time display as a secondary feature may still qualify, but the classification should be supported by product specifications confirming the clock or timer function is a genuine integrated component.
Battery-operated weather-band and shortwave radios that are not combined with recording apparatus generally fall within heading 852719. The specific tariff line depends on the receiver's band configuration: FM-only and AM/FM units go to 8527195010, while multi-band receivers including shortwave or weather bands typically fall under the NESOI line 8527195025. Importers should document the full band coverage in product specifications to support the correct line selection.
