HS Code 8529.10 – Reception and transmission apparatus; aerials and aerial reflectors of all kinds and parts suitable for use therewith
HS code 8529.10 is the 6-digit subheading for reception and transmission apparatus, aerials and aerial reflectors of all kinds and parts suitable for use therewith. It is used for satellite dishes, TV antennas, cellular base station antennas, wi-Fi antennas and GPS antennas.
What HS 8529.10 covers
This HS code encompasses aerials (antennas) and aerial reflectors of all kinds, along with their parts, suitable for use with reception and transmission apparatus. These are fundamental components for all forms of wireless communication, from broadcasting and satellite communication to cellular networks and Wi-Fi. International trade in these goods is robust and global, driven by the continuous expansion and upgrade of telecommunication infrastructure, consumer electronics, and specialized communication systems. Major importers include telecommunication companies, broadcasters, consumer electronics manufacturers, and defense contractors. Exporters are typically specialized antenna manufacturers and electronics component suppliers, often concentrated in regions with advanced manufacturing capabilities. Key aspects include the wide variety of designs tailored for specific frequency bands and applications, material science for optimal signal reception/transmission, and the increasing demand for compact, high-performance, and multi-band antennas for modern devices.

Codes often confused with 8529.10
Common mistake. This code can be confused with 851770 (parts for telecommunication apparatus) if the item is a general part rather than specifically an aerial or reflector. It's also distinct from 852990, which covers other parts for reception/transmission apparatus but excludes aerials.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 852910, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 852910 in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 27% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 17% of world imports.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
