From MFG Calcs data: Semiconductor and display equipment

U.S. imports of semiconductor and display equipment (heading 8486) came to $12.21B in 2025, with $508M in calculated duty: an effective duty of 4.2%, every duty included.

Effective duty in Sep 2026: 0.6%, against 4.3% in Sep 2025.

Largest sources in 2025: Japan $2.98B at 2.5% effective duty; Netherlands $2.67B at 1.4% effective duty; Singapore $1.39B at 1.0% effective duty; Malaysia $956M at 1.9% effective duty; Germany $947M at 2.6% effective duty.

These are family totals from U.S. import statistics published through USITC DataWeb, not this heading's rate alone; effective duty is calculated duty as a share of customs value, an estimate, not a ruling.

About these rates

The rates are those printed in the 2026 HTS Revision 23, published by the U.S. International Trade Commission. A 10-digit statistical line takes the rates printed on the 8-digit line above it. Chapter 99 duties (Section 232, Section 301, IEEPA) depend on the product, the origin and the date, are charged on top, and are not included. A code here is a strong lead, not a ruling: confirm it with a customs broker or a CBP binding ruling.
