HTS 7114.11.60 covers articles not elsewhere specified or included of a type used for household, table or kitchen use; toilet and sanitary wares; all the foregoing and parts… under heading 7114 (articles of goldsmiths' or silversmiths' wares and parts thereof, of precious metal or of…).
Rates on the nearby lines range from 2.7% to 3.5%. The costliest confusion would be with 7114.11.40 (spoons and ladles: other) at 3.5%, a difference of 0.5 points on the customs value.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 65%, 21.7 times the general rate.
Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, and 12 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 3%. It is also eligible under GSP, the developing-country programme, which Congress has to renew; check whether GSP is in force on the entry date.
The general duty rate is 3% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 71 (53rd percentile of 108 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $300 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
