Analysis
HTS 7226.92.30 covers of a width of less than 300 mm under heading 7226 (flat-rolled products of other alloy steel, of a width of less than 600 mm). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
For statistics it divides in two: 7226.92.30.30 for of ball-bearing steel and 7226.92.30.60 for other. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 34% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 34% duty.
There is no general-rate duty on this line, which puts it with roughly 92% of the 262 tariff lines in chapter 72 that are also free. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.
The other lines in the same group are 7226.92.10 (of a width of 300 mm or more, duty-free), 7226.92.50 (of a width of 300 mm or more, duty-free), 7226.92.70 (of a thickness not exceeding 0.25 mm, duty-free) and 7226.92.80 (of a thickness exceeding 0.25 mm, duty-free).
