MEMS Telecom Microphone Module
A miniature MEMS microphone designed for telecommunication devices, with a frequency range of 300 Hz to 3.4 kHz, diameter under 10 mm, and height not exceeding 3 mm. It converts voice signals into digital data for mobile phones and VoIP systems. This falls under HTS 8518.10.40.00 due to its precise size and frequency specs for telecom applications.
Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If not specifically for telecommunication use
General line telephone handset microphones fall under this broader subheading without strict telecom designation.
If imported as electronic integrated circuits
Microphone-integrated circuits or modules may classify as parts of Chapter 85 electrical apparatus.
If primarily functioning as a processor-integrated sensor
Hybrid integrated circuits with microphone function shift to semiconductor devices heading.
Not sure which classification is right?
The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right HTS code — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify frequency response certification (300 Hz-3.4 kHz) and dimensional specs via manufacturer datasheets for customs compliance
• Include telecom end-use declaration; common pitfall is misclassification as general audio mics without size proof
• Ensure RoHS compliance and provide Bills of Materials (BOM) showing MEMS components
