U.S. imports of transmission apparatus for radio, television, and radiotelephony (without reception) (SITC 76431) totaled $88.3M in April 2026, traded with 42 countries.
Importers of Transmission Apparatus for Radio, Television, and Radiotelephony (Without Reception) paid $8.1M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 10% on $80.1M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataBroadcast and wireless transmission apparatus — including radio base stations, TV broadcast transmitters, and radiotelephone transmitters that lack an integrated receiver — serves telecommunications carriers, broadcasters, and public-safety network operators. The absence of a reception function is the defining classification boundary; equipment that only transmits falls here, while transceivers are classified elsewhere. Many items in this category require FCC equipment authorization before importation, adding a regulatory layer beyond customs compliance.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes — most intentional radio frequency transmitters imported into the US must hold FCC equipment authorization (certification, Declaration of Conformity, or verification, depending on the device class) before they can be legally marketed or operated. Importers should confirm authorization status prior to shipment to avoid detention or refusal at the port of entry.
A base station with an integrated receiver (transceiver) is classified under the heading for transmission apparatus incorporating reception apparatus (SITC 76432), not here. Only equipment whose sole function is transmission, with no built-in reception capability, falls under 76431. Technical datasheets confirming the absence of a receiver are important supporting documents.
