Analysis
Heading 4416 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers casks, barrels, vats, tubs and other coopers' products and parts thereof, of wood, including staves. It has 3 tariff lines.
2 of its 3 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (67%) and 1 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 3.2%. The median line pays duty-free.
Its lines are 4416.00.30 for casks, barrels and hogsheads (duty-free), 4416.00.60 for staves and hoops; tight barrelheads of softwood (duty-free) and 4416.00.90 for casks, barrels, vats, tubs and other coopers' products and… (3.2%).
Its median rate of duty-free sits at the 30th percentile of the headings in chapter 44.
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Wood Container and Pallet Manufacturing (321920). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
The heading text decides whether a product belongs here at all (General Rule of Interpretation 1); the subheadings and lines below it only apply once that is settled. Section and chapter notes can override the heading wording, so read them for borderline goods.
