Find HS Code and trade information for USB MICROPHONE

Here's a classification breakdown for "USB MICROPHONE" based on the provided reference data, presented in a structured format:

• 8518104000 – Microphones and stands therefor; loudspeakers, whether or not mounted in their enclosures; headphones and earphones, whether or not combined with a microphone, and sets consisting of a microphone and one or more loudspeakers; audio-frequency electric amplifiers; electric sound amplifier sets; parts thereof: Microphones and stands therefor: Microphones having a frequency range of 300 Hz to 3.4 kHz with a diameter of not exceeding 10 mm and a height not exceeding 3 mm, for telecommunication use.

  • Breakdown:
    • 8518: Electrical machines and apparatus having individual functions, not specified or included elsewhere in this chapter; parts thereof – specifically focusing on sound-related devices.
    • 10: Microphones and stands.
    • 40: Microphones specifically designed for telecommunication, meeting the size and frequency criteria.
  • Applicability: If the USB microphone is small (diameter ≤ 10mm, height ≤ 3mm) and intended for telecommunication (e.g., voice calls, online meetings), this HS code is a strong possibility.
  • Tax Rate: Base Tariff: 0.0%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2: 30%, Total: 55.0%

• 8518108040 – Microphones and stands therefor; loudspeakers, whether or not mounted in their enclosures; headphones and earphones, whether or not combined with a microphone, and sets consisting of a microphone and one or more loudspeakers; audio-frequency electric amplifiers; electric sound amplifier sets; parts thereof: Microphones and stands therefor: Other Other.

  • Breakdown:
    • 8518: Same as above – sound-related devices.
    • 10: Microphones and stands.
    • 80: Other microphones (not specifically for telecommunication or meeting the size criteria of 8518104000).
  • Applicability: This is a broader category for USB microphones that don't meet the specific telecommunication or size requirements of 8518104000. Most standard USB microphones will likely fall into this category.
  • Tax Rate: Base Tariff: 0.0%, Additional Tariff: 7.5%, Post 2025.4.2: 30%, Total: 37.5%

• 8519893000 – Sound recording or reproducing apparatus: Other apparatus: Other: Other.

  • Breakdown:
    • 8519: Sound recording or reproducing apparatus.
    • 89: Other apparatus.
    • 30: Other.
  • Applicability: If the USB microphone has significant recording/playback functionality beyond simple sound input, it might be classified here. This is less likely unless it's a sophisticated device.
  • Tax Rate: Base Tariff: 0.0%, Additional Tariff: 7.5%, Post 2025.4.2: 30%, Total: 37.5%

Important Considerations & Recommendations:

• Functionality: The primary function of the USB microphone is crucial. Is it primarily for sound input (851810), or does it have substantial recording/playback capabilities (851989)?
• Technical Specifications: Confirm the frequency range and dimensions of the microphone. This will determine if it qualifies for the more specific 8518104000 HS code.
• Material Composition: The material used in the microphone's construction may affect tariff rates.
• Intended Use: The declared intended use of the microphone is important.
• Certification: Depending on the country of import, specific certifications (and other applicable HS Code and other applicable HS Code and other applicable HS Code and other applicable HS Code and
