SITCSection 7
U.S. imports of electrical inductors (other) (SITC 77125) totaled $87.1M in April 2026, traded with 63 countries.
Importers of Electrical Inductors (Other) paid $10.2M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 16% on $65.2M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Electrical Inductors (Other) imports of $87.1M in April 2026 ran 14% below the year-to-date monthly average of $101.6M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataInductors not elsewhere specified — including chokes, coils, and ferrite-core inductors used in power filtering, signal processing, and EMI suppression — are widely sourced components in electronics manufacturing supply chains. The "NES" designation means this heading captures inductors that do not qualify as ballasts (77123) or as parts of a more specifically described apparatus, making the classification boundary with adjacent headings a recurring issue for electronics importers. Section 301 tariffs apply to many China-origin inductors, and the small physical size of these components relative to their unit value makes accurate quantity and value reporting at entry especially important.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Ballasts (77123) are inductors specifically designed to control current in gas-discharge lamps or tubes. An inductor classified under 77125 serves a general electrical function — such as power filtering, energy storage, or signal conditioning — without being dedicated to lamp current regulation. The intended application and circuit design, as documented in manufacturer specifications, are the primary evidence for this distinction.
Both toroidal and surface-mount chip inductors may fall within the broader inductor heading, but the HTS schedule can subdivide inductors by construction type, inductance value, or current rating. Importers handling high volumes of mixed inductor types should map each part number to its specific HTS subheading rather than applying a single classification across the product line, as duty rates and Section 301 applicability may differ.
