Analysis
HTS 3917.40.00 covers tubes, pipes and hoses and fittings therefor (for example, joints, elbows, flanges), of plastics: fittings under heading 3917 (tubes, pipes and hoses and fittings therefor (for example, joints, elbows, flanges), of…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 7 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
Rates on the nearby lines range from duty-free to 6.5%. The costliest confusion would be with 3917.10.60 (other: of collagen) at duty-free, a difference of 5.3 points on the customs value.
Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Automotive Products Trade Act, the Bahrain FTA, the civil aircraft agreement, and 14 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 5.3%. It is also eligible under GSP, the developing-country programme, which Congress has to renew; check whether GSP is in force on the entry date.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 80%, 15.1 times the general rate.
The ten-digit suffixes separate for brake hoses for the vehicles of…, of polyvinyl chloride, of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene and of polyvinyl chloride. The duty is the same across them; the suffix matters for statistics, licensing and some quotas, and an entry needs all ten digits.
The general duty rate is 5.3% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 39 (51st percentile of 236 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $530 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
