U.S. imports of Printed Circuits (SITC 77220) totaled $310.6M in August 2026, imported from 76 countries.
Importers of Printed Circuits paid $53.5M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 17.62% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule. Printed Circuits imports of $310.6M in August 2026 ran 17% above the year-to-date monthly average of $265.0M.
Last updated: August 2026 dataPrinted circuits — rigid and flexible boards carrying conductive pathways etched or deposited onto insulating substrates — are a foundational input for virtually every segment of electronics manufacturing, from consumer devices to industrial controls and defense systems. Section 301 tariffs apply to a significant share of printed circuit imports sourced from China, making origin and supplier diversification a persistent cost-management issue for procurement teams. Classification turns on whether the board is bare (unpopulated) or assembled with components, a distinction that can shift the applicable HTS heading entirely. Importers should verify whether their specific board configuration qualifies as a printed circuit or as an assembled electronic assembly before entry.

A printed circuit in this SITC heading is generally an unpopulated board — the substrate with its conductive traces but without mounted components. Once resistors, capacitors, ICs, or other components are soldered on, the article typically reclassifies as an assembled board or electronic assembly under a different heading. Importers should confirm the population status of each shipment before filing entry.
Yes. Many printed circuit board imports of Chinese origin are subject to Section 301 tariffs. The applicable list and rate depend on the specific 10-digit HTS classification of the board. Importers sourcing from China should review current Section 301 exclusion orders and consider whether alternative-origin suppliers affect their landed cost.
