Last updated: July 2026 dataTelevision sets and integrated reception devices — including those combining radio-broadcast receivers, sound recording, or video recording/reproducing functions — are consolidated under SITC 76160, one of the most widely traded consumer electronics categories in US import data. The heading's breadth encompasses smart TVs, combination TV/DVD units, and sets with integrated streaming hardware, as long as the primary function is television signal reception. Section 301 tariffs have materially affected Chinese-origin television imports, accelerating sourcing shifts toward Mexico, which benefits from USMCA treatment, and Southeast Asian manufacturing hubs. Importers should pay close attention to whether a device's primary function is TV reception versus computing, as that determination drives classification.

Classification turns on the principal function. A device whose primary design and marketing purpose is television reception, even if it includes app-based streaming, generally remains under the TV reception heading. A device primarily designed as a computing or display terminal that incidentally receives broadcast signals may be classified differently. CBP has issued rulings on this boundary, and importers of hybrid devices should seek a binding ruling for certainty.
Mexico is a major assembly hub for televisions exported to the US, and qualifying Mexican-origin sets benefit from duty-free treatment under USMCA, provided applicable rules of origin — including regional value content and tariff classification change requirements — are satisfied. This makes origin verification and certificate-of-origin documentation especially important for importers managing landed-cost calculations.
