Analysis
Subheading 7202.11 covers containing by weight more than 2 percent of carbon, within heading 7202. 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 1.4% to 1.5% with a median of 1.45%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
The US splits it as follows: 7202.11.10 for containing by weight more than 2 percent but not more than 4 percent… (1.4%) and 7202.11.50 for containing by weight more than 4 percent of carbon (1.5%).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Iron and Steel Mills and Ferroalloy Manufacturing (331110). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
