6814
Worked mica and articles of mica, including agglomerated or reconstituted mica, whether or not on a support of paper, paperboard or other materials
Analysis
Heading 6814 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers worked mica and articles of mica, including agglomerated or reconstituted mica, whether or not on a support of paper, paperboard or other materials. It divides into 2 six-digit subheadings and 2 eight-digit tariff lines, with 2 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
None of its 2 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 2.6% to 2.7% with a median of 2.6500000000000004%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
The largest subheadings are 6814.10 (unnamed, 1 line) and 6814.90 (unnamed, 1 line).
Its median rate of 2.6500000000000004% sits at the 64th percentile of the headings in chapter 68.
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by All Other Miscellaneous Nonmetallic Mineral Product Manufacturing (327999). 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.
