Analysis
HTS 7325.99.10 covers other: of cast iron under heading 7325 (other cast articles of iron or steel).
Neighbouring lines carry rates from duty-free to 2.9%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 7325.99.50 (other: other), at 2.9%: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 2.9 percentage points.
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 7325.10.00 (of nonmalleable cast iron, duty-free), 7325.91.00 (grinding balls and similar articles for mills, 2.9%) and 7325.99.50 (other: other, 2.9%).
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 20% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 20% duty.
