8528.49.15

Analysis

HTS 8528.49.15 covers with a video display diagonal not exceeding 34.29 cm under heading 8528 (monitors and projectors, not incorporating television reception apparatus; reception…).

There is no general-rate duty on this line, which puts it with roughly 58% of the 624 tariff lines in chapter 85 that are also free. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.

Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 25% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 25% duty.

Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 334310 (Audio and Video Equipment Manufacturing), an industry of 539 US establishments employing 10,977 people, the industry a domestic producer of these goods reports under.

All 14 neighbouring lines carry the same duty-free rate, so a borderline choice between them changes the statistics reported, not the duty paid.

Every edition we compared, from Jan 2023 to Oct 2026 (Rev. 22), shows the same general rate of Free.
