Last updated: May 2026 dataMotor vehicle radio receivers that require external vehicle power and are not combined with sound recording or reproducing apparatus are classified here — a category covering basic AM/FM car radios, satellite radio tuners, and similar standalone reception-only units. The US schedule distinguishes FM-only and AM/FM receivers (8527294000) from all other motor vehicle radio receivers (8527298000), with a legacy consolidated line (8527290000) also present. These units are widely used in both OEM automotive assembly and the aftermarket replacement segment, and Section 301 tariff exposure is a key landed-cost consideration for units of Chinese origin.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
A standalone satellite radio tuner that receives satellite broadcast signals and requires vehicle power — without an integrated recording or reproducing function — would generally be examined under heading 852729 as a motor vehicle radiobroadcast receiver. However, if the unit's primary function is satellite navigation rather than broadcast reception, classification under heading 852691 (radio navigational aid apparatus) may be more appropriate. The device's principal function and technical specifications should guide the classification analysis.
Line 8527294000 is reserved for motor vehicle radio receivers capable of receiving only FM or combined AM/FM bands, with no additional reception capability. Units that also receive shortwave, weather bands, HD Radio, satellite signals, or other frequency ranges fall under the NESOI line 8527298000. Importers should confirm the full reception band specification of each model to assign the correct line.
