Analysis
HTS 4417.00.80 covers tools, tool bodies, tool handles, broom or brush bodies and handles, of wood; boot or shoe lasts and trees, of wood: other under heading 4417 (tools, tool bodies, tool handles, broom or brush bodies and handles, of wood; boot or…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
Within this group the rate runs from duty-free to duty-free. Compared with 4417.00.60 (tools, tool bodies, tool handles, broom or brush bodies and handles…), which pays duty-free, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 5.1 percentage points.
The general duty rate is 5.1% of the customs value, which is above most the rates in chapter 44 (85th percentile of 257 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $510 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, and 12 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 5.1%. 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.
For statistics it divides in two: 4417.00.80.10 for tool handles and 4417.00.80.90 for other. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
