HTS subheading · chapter 39
3925.30
Shutters, blinds (including venetian blinds) and similar articles and parts thereof
Analysis
Subheading 3925.30 covers shutters, blinds (including venetian blinds) and similar articles and parts thereof, within heading 3925. 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 2 US tariff lines below it are national.
None of its 2 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 3.3% to 5.3% with a median of 4.3%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
The US splits it as follows: 3925.30.10 for blinds (including venetian blinds) (3.3%) and 3925.30.50 for shutters, blinds (including venetian blinds) and similar articles and… (5.3%).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Blind and Shade Manufacturing (337920) and All Other Plastics Product Manufacturing (326199). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
Goods only reach 3925.30 once they fall within heading 3925 (builders' ware of plastics, not elsewhere specified or included). Under General Rule 6, subheadings are then compared only with others at the same level, so a product is matched against its siblings, not against lines elsewhere in the chapter.
