7017
Laboratory, hygienic or pharmaceutical glassware, whether or not graduated or calibrated
Analysis
Heading 7017 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers laboratory, hygienic or pharmaceutical glassware, whether or not graduated or calibrated. It divides into 3 six-digit subheadings and 5 eight-digit tariff lines, with 5 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
The spread of 6.7 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 6.7%, applies to 7017.20.00 (of other glass having a linear coefficient of…) and 7017.90.50 (other: other).
2 of its 5 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (40%) and 3 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 6.7%. The median line pays 4.6%.
The largest subheadings are 7017.10 (of fused quartz or other fused silica, 2 lines), 7017.90 (other, 2 lines) and 7017.20 (unnamed, 1 line).
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.
