Analysis
Subheading 7108.13 covers other semimanufactured forms, within heading 7108. 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 3 US tariff lines below it are national.
2 of its 3 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (67%) and 1 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 4.1%. The median line pays duty-free.
The US splits it as follows: 7108.13.10 for other semimanufactured forms: gold leaf (duty-free), 7108.13.55 for rectangular or near rectangular shapes, containing 99.5 percent or… (duty-free) and 7108.13.70 for other: other (4.1%).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Nonferrous Metal (except Copper and Aluminum) Rolling, Drawing, and Extruding (331491) and All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing (332999). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
