Analysis
Subheading 7011.20 covers for cathode-ray tubes, within heading 7011. 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.
1 of its 3 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (33%) and 2 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 5.2%. The median line pays 5.2%.
The spread of 5.2 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 5.2%, applies to 7011.20.10 (for cathode-ray tubes: cones) and 7011.20.85 (other: other).
The US splits it as follows: 7011.20.10 for for cathode-ray tubes: cones (5.2%), 7011.20.45 for monochrome glass envelopes, the foregoing certified by the importer… (duty-free) and 7011.20.85 for other: other (5.2%).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Other Pressed and Blown Glass and Glassware Manufacturing (327212). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
