SITCSection 8
U.S. imports of semiconductor media for sound or other recording (excluding group 882 products) (SITC 89846) totaled $7.1B in July 2026, traded with 73 countries.
Importers of Semiconductor Media for Sound or Other Recording (Excluding Group 882 Products) paid $14.9M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 10% on $147.8M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Semiconductor Media for Sound or Other Recording (Excluding Group 882 Products) imports of $7.1B in July 2026 ran 45% above the year-to-date monthly average of $4.9B.
Last updated: July 2026 dataFlash memory cards, USB drives, solid-state storage modules, and other semiconductor-based recording media used for audio, video, or general data capture are grouped here when outside the pre-recorded scope of SITC Group 882. Semiconductor media are a primary input for consumer electronics, professional audio, and industrial data-logging applications, and their supply chain is heavily concentrated among a small number of NAND flash manufacturers. Products originating in China may be subject to Section 301 tariff measures depending on their precise HTS classification.

Semiconductor recording media from China have been subject to Section 301 tariff measures, though the applicable list and any exclusions depend on the specific HTS subheading. Given the complexity of exclusion orders and their expiration dates, importers should verify current Section 301 exposure for each product type with a licensed customs broker.
CBP applies the substantial-transformation test. For flash memory products, the country where the NAND die is fabricated is often — but not always — considered the country of origin, since die fabrication is typically the most complex and value-adding step. Assembly and packaging in a different country does not automatically confer origin there. Importers with complex supply chains should seek a binding ruling.
