Analysis
HTS 2517.20.00 covers macadam of slag, dross or similar industrial waste, whether or not incorporating the materials cited in subheading 2517.10 under heading 2517 (pebbles, gravel, broken or crushed stone, of a kind commonly used for concrete…).
Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 91% of the 78 tariff lines in chapter 25. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 30% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 30% duty.
The other lines in the same group are 2517.10.00 (pebbles, gravel, broken or crushed stone, of a kind…, duty-free), 2517.30.00 (pebbles, gravel, broken or crushed stone, of a kind…, duty-free), 2517.41.00 (granules, chippings and powder, of stones of heading 2515…, duty-free) and 2517.49.00 (granules, chippings and powder, of stones of heading 2515…, duty-free).
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 324121 (Asphalt Paving Mixture and Block Manufacturing), an industry of 1,397 US establishments employing 17,655 people. That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
