Last updated: August 2026 dataMonochrome TV receivers — sets designed to display black-and-white or single-color images — occupy a narrow but distinct niche in the US tariff schedule, consolidated into a single 10-digit line (8528730000). Commercial demand is largely limited to specialized industrial monitoring, medical imaging displays, and legacy broadcast applications rather than consumer retail. China is the dominant US supplier of this category, with Canada and South Korea also appearing among leading sources.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Monochrome TV receivers imported today are predominantly destined for industrial, medical, or security monitoring applications where grayscale imaging is preferred for contrast clarity or cost reasons — for example, certain ultrasound display units, closed-circuit surveillance monitors, and legacy broadcast equipment. Consumer monochrome TV demand is negligible in the US market.
Potentially, but the classification turns on whether the device is principally designed to receive television signals. A dedicated medical imaging monitor that lacks a TV tuner and is driven solely by a computer or imaging system would more likely fall under monitor headings (e.g., heading 8528 subheadings for monitors) rather than 8528730000. A licensed customs broker should review the technical specifications and principal function before filing.
