Analysis
HTS 7317.00.75 covers of two or more pieces under heading 7317 (nails, tacks, drawing pins, corrugated nails, staples (other than those of heading 8305)…).
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.
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 331222 (Steel Wire Drawing), an industry of 198 US establishments employing 14,260 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 8% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 8% duty.
All 5 neighbouring lines carry the same duty-free rate, so a borderline choice between them changes the statistics reported, not the duty paid.
Every edition we compared, from Jan 2023 to Oct 2026 (Rev. 22), shows the same general rate of Free.
