Question 1

What does HTS 8523.80 cover?

Accepted Answer

HTS 8523.80 is a 6-digit subheading of the U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule covering Discs, tapes, solid-state non-volatile storage devices, "smart cards" and other media for the recording of sound or of other phenomena, whether or not recorded, including matrices and masters for the production of discs, but excluding products of Chapter 37, other. It belongs to Chapter 85 and rolls up 2 10-digit statistical lines that brokers actually file at entry.

Question 2

What is the duty rate for HTS 8523.80?

Accepted Answer

Every 10-digit line under HTS 8523.80 carries a general (Column 1) duty rate of Free. Chapter 99 flags and potentially relevant AD/CVD order flags are shown at the per-line level; applicability depends on the shipment facts, written scope, and entry date.

Question 3

How do I find the right 10-digit line under HTS 8523.80?

Accepted Answer

U.S. Customs requires entries to be filed at the 10-digit statistical level — the broader subheading HTS 8523.80 is not directly fileable. Match your product description to the most specific 10-digit line in the list on this page; if multiple lines could apply, the General Rules of Interpretation (GRIs) and chapter notes determine which one governs.

Question 4

Are there potentially relevant AD/CVD order flags under HTS 8523.80?

Accepted Answer

Tandom's current catalog view links no potentially relevant AD/CVD (antidumping or countervailing duty) order flags to lines under HTS 8523.80. Check current Commerce scope materials and Federal Register notices before relying on an HTS-only screen.
