7018

Analysis

Heading 7018 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers glass beads, imitation pearls, imitation precious or semiprecious stones and similar glass smallwares and articles thereof other than imitation jewelry; glass eyes other than prosthetic articles; statuettes and other…. It divides into 3 six-digit subheadings and 6 eight-digit tariff lines, with 6 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.

The spread of 6.6 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 6.6%, applies to 7018.90.50 (other: other).

2 of its 6 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (33%) and 4 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 6.6%. The median line pays 3.6%.

The largest subheadings are 7018.10 (glass beads, imitation pearls, imitation precious…, 3 lines), 7018.90 (other, 2 lines) and 7018.20 (unnamed, 1 line).

Its median rate of 3.6% sits at the 34th percentile of the headings in chapter 70.

By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Jewelry and Silverware Manufacturing (339910), Glass Product Manufacturing Made of Purchased Glass (327215) and Doll, Toy, and Game Manufacturing (339930). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
