8543.70.91.00 – Electrical machines and apparatus, having individual functions, not specified or included elsewhere in this chapter; parts thereof: Other machines and apparatus: Other: Digital signal processing apparatus capable of connecting to a wired or wireless network for the mixing of sound: If the Bluetooth receiver functions as a digital signal processor (DSP) – meaning it actively processes audio signals, mixes them, or performs other audio manipulations – this code is a strong possibility.
- 85 - Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof.
- 43 - Electrical machines and apparatus, having individual functions.
- 70 - Other machines and apparatus.
- 91 - Other.
- 00 - Other.

- 85 - Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof.
- 43 - Electrical machines and apparatus, having individual functions.
- 90 - Parts.
- 68 - Other.
- 00 - Other.
- Tax Rate: Base Tariff: 0.0%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff: 30%. Total Tax Rate: 55.0%.
Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Functionality is Key: The most accurate HS code depends on the primary function of the Bluetooth receiver. Is it mainly for voice communication, audio processing, or is it a component part?
- Detailed Product Description: Provide a more detailed description of the receiver's features and specifications to help narrow down the classification.
- Material Composition: The materials used in the receiver's construction could influence the HS code.
- Intended Use: How will the receiver be used? (e.g., automotive, consumer electronics, industrial applications).
- Certification: Depending on the intended use, specific certifications (e.g., FCC, CE) may be required for import.
- Post 2025.4.2 Tariff Changes: Be aware of the additional tariff increase scheduled for April 2, 2025.
- Consult with a Customs Broker: For complex cases, it's always best to consult with a licensed customs broker to ensure accurate classification and compliance.
Customer Reviews
The page had all the necessary HS code information for Bluetooth receivers. I just wish there were more examples of how to determine the primary function of the device for classification.
This page was a lifesaver for my export project. The HS code explanations and the note about the tariff changes after April 2025 were exactly what I needed.
The breakdown of the 55% tariff rate with the base and additional tariffs was very clear. I now understand why the total rate is so high for exporting to the US.
The page gave a good overview of the different HS codes for Bluetooth receivers. However, I would have liked a bit more detail on the exact use cases for each code.
I found the information on the 8543906800 HS code extremely helpful. It clarified that this is for parts, which is exactly what I needed for my import inquiry.
