Analysis
Subheading 7013.10 covers of glass-ceramics, within heading 7013. 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 2 US tariff lines below it are national.
The spread of 19.1 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 26%, applies to 7013.10.50 (of glass-ceramics: other).
None of its 2 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 6.9% to 26% with a median of 16.45%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
The US splits it as follows: 7013.10.10 for kitchenware, non-glazed, greater than 75 percent by volume… (6.9%) and 7013.10.50 for of glass-ceramics: other (26%).
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.
