7308.90.60

Analysis

HTS 7308.90.60 covers columns, pillars, posts, beams, girders and similar structural units: other under heading 7308 (structures (excluding prefabricated buildings of heading 9406) and parts of structures…).

This line's footnotes point to one additional provision in Chapter 99: 9903.90.09 (measures on products of Russia). Chapter 99 duties are added on top of the general rate for goods of the countries they name, and they change more often than the rest of the schedule, so check the current CBP guidance before you rely on a total.

There is no general-rate duty on this line, which puts it with roughly 77% of the 250 tariff lines in chapter 73 that are also free. 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 30% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 30% duty.

The other lines in the same group are 7308.90.30 (not in part of alloy steel, duty-free), 7308.90.70 (other: steel grating, duty-free) and 7308.90.95 (other: other, duty-free).
