U.S. imports of high-power transistors (non-photosensitive, 1 watt or more) (HS 854129) totaled $111.3M in April 2026, traded with 43 countries.
Importers of High-Power Transistors (Non-Photosensitive, 1 Watt or More) paid $3.3M in duties in April 2026 β an effective duty rate of 25% on $13.1M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. High-Power Transistors (Non-Photosensitive, 1 Watt or More) imports of $111.3M in April 2026 ran 15% above the year-to-date monthly average of $97.0M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataPower transistors rated at 1 watt or above are segmented across multiple frequency bands β below 30 MHz, 30 MHz to 30,000 MHz, and above 30,000 MHz β reflecting their use in power amplifiers, motor drives, RF base stations, and radar systems. Japan and Austria are the leading US suppliers, a pairing that underscores the heading's concentration in precision power and RF semiconductor manufacturing rather than commodity consumer electronics. The seven 10-digit lines under this heading make frequency documentation from manufacturer datasheets essential for accurate entry.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page β verify before relying on it.
Classification should be based on the transistor's primary rated or designed operating frequency range as stated in the manufacturer's datasheet. If a device is rated for a broad range spanning multiple classification boundaries, CBP guidance and binding ruling requests can provide certainty. Consulting a licensed customs broker before entry is advisable for multi-band RF power devices.
Line 8541290040 covers unfinished transistor chips at the die or wafer stage for devices rated at or above 1 watt, regardless of frequency. All other lines under 854129 cover completed, packaged transistors differentiated by frequency band. The stage of manufacture β whether the product has been diced, packaged, and tested β determines which line applies.
