7308.30.50

Analysis

HTS 7308.30.50 covers doors, windows and their frames and thresholds for doors: other under heading 7308 (structures (excluding prefabricated buildings of heading 9406) and parts of structures…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 3 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.

Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 77% of the 250 tariff lines in chapter 73. Duty-free at the general rate does not rule out additional duties under Chapter 99, such as Section 301 or Section 232 measures, which depend on the country of origin.

Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 25% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 25% duty.

Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 332321 (Metal Window and Door Manufacturing), an industry of 1,027 US establishments employing 59,920 people. That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.

The ten-digit suffixes separate windows and their frames and thresholds for doors. The duty is the same across them; the suffix matters for statistics, licensing and some quotas, and an entry needs all ten digits.
