Analysis
Heading 2517 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers pebbles, gravel, broken or crushed stone, of a kind commonly used for concrete aggregates, for road metalling, or for railway or other ballast; shingle and flint, whether or not heat-treated; macadam of slag, dross or…. It divides into 5 six-digit subheadings and 5 eight-digit tariff lines, with 7 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
Every one of its 5 tariff lines is duty-free at the general rate, so classification within the heading affects statistics and Chapter 99 measures rather than the base duty.
The largest subheadings are 2517.10 (unnamed, 1 line), 2517.20 (unnamed, 1 line), 2517.30 (unnamed, 1 line) and 2517.41 (unnamed, 1 line).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Other Crushed and Broken Stone Mining and Quarrying (212319), Asphalt Paving Mixture and Block Manufacturing (324121) and Construction Sand and Gravel Mining (212321). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
