Last updated: July 2026 dataPlayback-only turntables — commonly called record decks in the audio trade — are classified here when they incorporate no sound recording device, distinguishing them from professional DJ or studio units that may include recording functions. Renewed consumer interest in vinyl has made this a more actively traded category than its legacy SITC position might suggest, with demand driven by both audiophile and entry-level segments. The absence of a recording mechanism is the critical classification boundary; units with phono preamps or USB digitizing outputs may warrant additional scrutiny to confirm they remain playback-only.

A USB digitizing output converts the analog signal to a digital file, which customs authorities may interpret as a sound recording function. This could shift classification out of this heading. Importers of USB-equipped turntables should seek a binding ruling or broker guidance before assuming this heading applies.
Purely passive turntables with no wireless or radio-frequency-emitting components generally do not require FCC equipment authorization. However, units with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or other wireless connectivity are subject to FCC Part 15 authorization requirements, which must be obtained before importation.
