Analysis
Heading 7325 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers other cast articles of iron or steel. It divides into 3 six-digit subheadings and 4 eight-digit tariff lines, with 9 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
2 of its 4 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (50%) and 2 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 2.9%. The median line pays 1.45%.
Its median rate of 1.45% sits at the 77th percentile of the headings in chapter 73.
The largest subheadings are 7325.99 (other, 2 lines), 7325.10 (unnamed, 1 line) and 7325.91 (unnamed, 1 line).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Iron Foundries (331511) and Steel Foundries (except Investment) (331513). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
The heading text decides whether a product belongs here at all (General Rule of Interpretation 1); the subheadings and lines below it only apply once that is settled. Section and chapter notes can override the heading wording, so read them for borderline goods.
