Analysis
Subheading 7005.29 covers other, within heading 7005. 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 5 US tariff lines below it are national.
2 of its 3 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (67%) and 1 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 4.9%. The median line pays duty-free.
The US splits it as follows: 7005.29.04 for suitable for use in liquid crystal displays (duty-free), 7005.29.08 for measuring not over 0.65 m in area: other (18.7¢/m2), 7005.29.14 for suitable for use in liquid crystal displays, measuring not over 0.8… (duty-free), 7005.29.18 for measuring over 0.65 m2 in area: other (14.5¢/m2) and 7005.29.25 for measuring 10 mm or more in thickness (4.9%).
2 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.
