7315.82.50

Analysis

HTS 7315.82.50 covers not over 10 mm in diameter under heading 7315 (chain and parts thereof, of iron or steel).

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.

The other lines in the same group are 7315.82.10 (not over 10 mm in diameter, duty-free), 7315.82.30 (over 10 mm in diameter, duty-free) and 7315.82.70 (over 10 mm in diameter, duty-free).

Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 332618 (Other Fabricated Wire Product Manufacturing), an industry of 710 US establishments employing 19,060 people. That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.

Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 10% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 10% duty.
