Last updated: April 2026 dataTransceivers — devices that both transmit and receive radio-frequency signals in a single unit — are the dominant trade item in this category, encompassing two-way radios, cellular base station transceivers, and combined broadcast transmitter/monitor units. The integrated reception function is what distinguishes this heading from pure transmitters, and it is also what triggers FCC equipment authorization requirements for virtually all units. Walkie-talkies, land mobile radio systems, and satellite uplink/downlink terminals are commercially significant subcategories.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes — handheld two-way radios are transceivers that both transmit and receive, placing them in the transmission apparatus incorporating reception apparatus category. They also require FCC equipment authorization and, depending on frequency band and power output, may be subject to additional licensing considerations for the end user.
Transceivers and combined radio apparatus from certain origins have been subject to Section 301 tariffs, and the applicable HTS subheading determines the exact measure. Because this SITC heading maps to multiple HTS lines, importers should verify the Section 301 list status of each specific subheading and origin combination before finalizing sourcing decisions.
