5907.00.25

Analysis

HTS 5907.00.25 covers theatrical, ballet, and operatic scenery and properties, including sets (229) under heading 5907 (textile fabrics otherwise impregnated, coated or covered; painted canvas being theatrical…).

Neighbouring lines carry rates from duty-free to 8%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 5907.00.35 (other: other (229)), at 8%: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 8 percentage points.

Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 83.5% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 83.5% duty.

Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 37% of the 59 tariff lines in chapter 59. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.

Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 339999 (All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing), an industry of 3,012 US establishments employing 40,510 people. That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
