Analysis
Subheading 7018.90 covers other, within heading 7018. 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.
None of its 2 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 3.2% to 6.6% with a median of 4.9%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
The US splits it as follows: 7018.90.10 for glass eyes, except prosthetic articles (3.2%) and 7018.90.50 for other: other (6.6%).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Doll, Toy, and Game Manufacturing (339930) and Glass Product Manufacturing Made of Purchased Glass (327215). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
Goods only reach 7018.90 once they fall within heading 7018 (glass beads, imitation pearls, imitation precious or semiprecious stones and similar…). Under General Rule 6, subheadings are then compared only with others at the same level, so a product is matched against its siblings, not against lines elsewhere in the chapter.
