Analysis
Subheading 7013.42 covers of glass having a linear coefficient of expansion not exceeding 5 x 10-6 per Kelvin within a temperature range of 0˚C to 300˚C, 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 4 US tariff lines below it are national.
The spread of 15.3 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 22.5%, applies to 7013.42.20 (valued not over $3 each).
