Manufacturing & Reproducing Magnetic and Optical Media imports of $8.5B in August 2026 ran 58% above the year-to-date monthly average of $5.4B.
Last updated: August 2026 dataEstablishments classified under NAICS 334610 produce blank magnetic and optical storage media and perform mass reproduction of pre-recorded content — two distinct commercial activities unified by their shared substrate technologies. On the import side, the corresponding HTS headings distinguish sharply between unrecorded and recorded formats, and China-origin goods across much of this space carry Section 301 exposure, making supplier diversification toward Southeast Asian production hubs an active supply-chain strategy. Trade professionals should also note that reproduced software or content-bearing media may trigger additional intellectual-property documentation requirements at entry.

Beyond standard entry documents, CBP may request evidence of legitimate licensing for content-bearing media to screen for counterfeit goods. Importers should retain license agreements or authorization letters from rights holders and be prepared to present them upon request.
Pre-recorded optical discs (e.g., DVDs containing films or software) are classified under HTS Chapter 85 headings for recorded media, while blank optical discs fall under separate headings for unrecorded media. The duty rates and any applicable trade-remedy measures can differ between these two classifications, so confirming recording status before filing entry is essential.
