Analysis
HTS 7226.92.80 covers of a thickness exceeding 0.25 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: 7226.92.80.05 for of high-nickel alloy steel and 7226.92.80.50 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 33% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 33% duty.
Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 92% of the 262 tariff lines in chapter 72. 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), 7226.92.30 (of a width of less than 300 mm, duty-free), 7226.92.50 (of a width of 300 mm or more, duty-free) and 7226.92.70 (of a thickness not exceeding 0.25 mm, duty-free).
