Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If fully assembled into digital cameras
Complete digital still image cameras or video recorders fall under 8525.89, not raw semiconductor wafers.
If integrated circuit amplifiers rather than discrete transistors
Memory or amplifier ICs classify under 8542.32, separate from discrete photosensitive transistors.
If for industrial semiconductor manufacturing equipment parts
Semiconductor manufacturing machines parts go to 8486, based on end-use in fab equipment.

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
• Submit wafer maps and test data proving photosensitive transistor functionality for correct HTS verification
• Comply with ITAR/EAR if destined for defense imaging applications
• Avoid classifying diced wafers as finished chips if still on frame; declare as wafers
