Analysis
Subheading 1602.41 covers hams and cuts thereof, within heading 1602. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 3 US tariff lines below it are national.
None of its 3 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 6.4% to 6.4% with a median of 6.4%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
The US splits it as follows: 1602.41.10 for containing cereals or vegetables (6.4%), 1602.41.20 for boned and cooked and packed in airtight containers (5.3¢/kg) and 1602.41.90 for other: other (1.4¢/kg).
2 of the lines carry specific or compound rates (per kilogram, per dozen and so on) rather than a percentage, so their burden depends on the unit value of the goods.
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Animal (except Poultry) Slaughtering (311611). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
