SITCSection 7
U.S. imports of battery-operated electronic calculators (SITC 75121) totaled $12.6M in April 2026, traded with 14 countries.
Importers of Battery-Operated Electronic Calculators paid $1.4M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 11% on $12.6M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Battery-Operated Electronic Calculators imports of $12.6M in April 2026 ran 55% above the year-to-date monthly average of $8.1M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataBattery-powered and solar-assisted electronic calculators — capable of operating without any external power connection — are among the most widely distributed consumer electronics in global trade, with production heavily concentrated in Asia. The self-contained power requirement is the defining technical criterion that places a device in this heading rather than a broader office machine category. Despite the prevalence of smartphone calculator apps, demand for dedicated handheld and desktop calculators remains steady in education, retail, and professional sectors. Imports from major Asian manufacturing origins may be subject to Section 301 tariffs, and buyers sourcing at scale should factor duty exposure into landed cost calculations.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The heading covers calculators capable of operating without an external power source — the USB connectivity alone does not disqualify a device if it can function independently on battery or solar power. However, if the device's primary function shifts to data processing or it requires a computer connection to perform its core calculations, reclassification to a different heading may be warranted. The operational independence criterion is the controlling factor.
Electronic calculators from China are subject to Section 301 tariffs under the applicable HTS chapter. Importers should confirm the 10-digit HTS classification for their specific calculator type and check the current Section 301 list status, as product exclusions have been granted and modified over time. Diversifying sourcing to other Asian manufacturing countries can reduce Section 301 exposure, though origin rules must be carefully observed to ensure the country-of-origin determination is defensible.
