U.S. imports of parts of microphones, loudspeakers, headphones, earphones & audio amplifiers (SITC 76492) totaled $16.8M in April 2026, traded with 49 countries.
Importers of Parts of Microphones, Loudspeakers, Headphones, Earphones & Audio Amplifiers paid $2.0M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 17% on $11.8M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataComponent-level trade in microphone capsules, speaker drivers, headphone transducers, and audio-frequency amplifier subassemblies falls under this heading, making precise part identification essential for correct classification. Importers sourcing these components for consumer electronics assembly or professional audio equipment must distinguish finished articles from parts, as the boundary affects both duty treatment and Section 301 exposure for China-origin goods. Supply chains for these components are heavily concentrated in East Asia, with parts often transiting multiple countries before final assembly, raising substantial-transformation and country-of-origin marking questions.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
A finished loudspeaker is generally classified as a complete article, while individual components — such as a raw driver cone, voice coil, or crossover network — qualify as parts. The determination hinges on whether the item is identifiable as solely or principally used as a part of the named apparatus. CBP rulings and the General Rules of Interpretation guide this analysis; a licensed customs broker can help assess borderline cases.
Parts must be marked with their country of origin in a conspicuous location unless an exception applies. When components undergo further processing in a third country before US entry, the substantial-transformation test determines the marked origin. Importers should document each processing step to support the origin determination, particularly for multi-country supply chains common in consumer electronics components.
