From MFG Calcs data: Capacitors, resistors, and circuit boards

U.S. imports of capacitors, resistors, and circuit boards (headings 8532, 8533, 8534) came to $5.56B in 2025, with $855M in calculated duty: an effective duty of 15.4%, every duty included.

Effective duty in Sep 2026: 15.4%, against 22.5% in Sep 2025.

Largest sources in 2025: Taiwan $1.07B at 8.4% effective duty; China $1.03B at 47.3% effective duty; Japan $979M at 8.1% effective duty; Mexico $439M at 1.9% effective duty; Thailand $269M at 10.0% 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.
