Analysis
HTS 4417.00.20 covers broom and mop handles, 1.9 cm or more in diameter and 97 cm or more in length under heading 4417 (tools, tool bodies, tool handles, broom or brush bodies and handles, of wood; boot or…).
Within this group the rate runs from duty-free to 5.1%. Compared with 4417.00.80 (tools, tool bodies, tool handles, broom or brush bodies and handles…), which pays 5.1%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 5.1 percentage points.
The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 61% of the 257 tariff lines in chapter 44, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.
The other lines in the same group are 4417.00.40 (paint brush and paint roller handles, duty-free), 4417.00.60 (tools, tool bodies, tool handles, broom or brush bodies and…, duty-free) and 4417.00.80 (tools, tool bodies, tool handles, broom or brush bodies and…, 5.1%).
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 321999 (All Other Miscellaneous Wood Product Manufacturing), an industry of 2,327 US establishments employing 31,381 people. That concordance is how imports of this line are compared with US output.
