Last updated: August 2026 dataGoods under this heading are subject to Section 301 tariffs when sourced from China, making supply-chain origin a critical cost variable for importers of combination radio-recorder units. The US schedule breaks out five tariff lines covering standalone radio receivers with sound recorders (8527910000), units designed to connect with telephonic apparatus (8527910500), radio-tape recorder combinations (8527915000), units incorporating optical disc players or recorders (8527916040), and all other radio-sound reproduction combos (8527916080). Malaysia and Vietnam have emerged as the leading sources for this heading, with China, Taiwan, and Japan also supplying the US market. Importers should verify that each unit's primary function aligns with the correct 10-digit line, as classification between radio-recorder combos and standalone audio equipment can be disputed at entry.

The five 10-digit lines separate units by functional design: connection to telephonic apparatus (8527910500), tape-recorder integration (8527915000), optical disc player/recorder inclusion (8527916040), and a residual catch-all (8527916080). The primary classification driver is the type of sound recording or reproducing technology integrated with the radio receiver.
Yes. Goods originating in China are subject to Section 301 additional tariffs, which do not apply to Malaysian-origin goods. Because Malaysia is the leading supplier under this heading, many importers have shifted sourcing there partly to avoid Section 301 exposure, though country-of-origin rules and substantial transformation criteria must be carefully documented.
