Analysis
Subheading 6804.22 covers of other agglomerated abrasives or of ceramics, within heading 6804. 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 3 US tariff lines below it are national.
Every one of its 3 tariff lines is duty-free at the general rate, so classification within the subheading affects statistics and Chapter 99 measures rather than the base duty.
The US splits it as follows: 6804.22.10 for bonded with synthetic resins (5¢/kg + 2%), 6804.22.40 for other: abrasive wheels (duty-free) and 6804.22.60 for other: other (duty-free).
1 of the lines carry specific or compound rates (per kilogram, per dozen and so on) rather than a percentage, so their burden depends on the unit value of the goods.
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Abrasive Product Manufacturing (327910). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
